The Peace region is seeing some early spring flooding as daytime temperatures rise.
Three feet deep water made for treacherous passing on the 261 Road off Airport Road across from Co-Op in Fort St. John on Friday.
Environment Canada is forecasting daytime highs of 6 and 7 degrees under sunny skies this weekend, so more spring flooding is to be expected.
