The rain that we had in north western New Brunswick and the upper reaches of the Saint John River came at a crucial point. It cleared out all the snow in the Mont Farlagne area.
But some snow remains in the shadow areas in the woods near Glenwood.
What is different now is that the soil temperature and snow temperature are close to the melting point and when 100 mm of warm rain fell on it last night there was a significant increase in the flow of meltwater coming down the river.
We no longer have a good web camera view of the river but the river is now coming to the cameras. The City Hall Fred E-zone camera this evening shows that the parking lot behind city hall has flooded.
The highway bridge does not appear to have changed much even with the depth increase as shown in the MRDC Coytown-Sheffield camera.
I see that someone in MRDC decided that the change in the Longs Creek camera was a roaring success and turned the Salisbury camera around away from the rising sun with a more south west view that includes the whole highway and an overpass with a full farm in the background this might now be a fun camera to keep an eye on.

And this is what the province looked like this evening. The highway cameras are all showing an unlovely but pretty much dry, brown view. We can look forward to green after the wave of blue.
