Explain this.
Do a program on this. For Gawd's sake, don't let any scientists talk.
The Red River hasn't risen yet in Winnipeg but there is already water everywhere, covering the streets and filling basements.City of Winnipeg officials have fielded 2,500 calls in the past 10 days from residents concerned about water in basements and yards.
Bruce McPhail, manager of street maintenance, said Monday that this spring has been one of the worst in recent memory for basement flooding.
"I see that as a combination of wet weather that we got in early February — the freezing rain and the significant moisture — then the very cold temperatures that we got over the winter," he said. "I think that's resulted in a lot of the issues that we've got out there now. And that's certainly been a challenge for the city to try and address."
The problem is many street drains are clogged by ice, so with nowhere to go, the melting snow and rainwater is backing up, creating huge puddles across roadways and yards. The ground is already so saturated with moisture, it cannot absorb much more.
Oh. This is turning ugy. And after it snowed in Vancouver this year.
Welcome to ongoing "water events", Rex. And since you clearly don't even understand what actually causes snow, perhaps you'll develop enough brilliance to realize that anything you have to say about climate change or stability comes from ignorance.
