Area snow packs remained significantly higher than normal but are on the decline, the province's River Forecast
Centre says in its latest update.
The level for the Upper Fraser basin stood at 144 per cent and for the Nechako basin it was 158 per cent, according to the centre's March 1 snow survey and water supply
bulletin.
Those figures are down from 149 and 168 per cent as of the Feb. 1 bulletin although they remain above those found in 2007.
That was when Prince George and other communities not only suffered one of the worst bouts of spring flooding in recent memory but also lived through the Nechako ice jam that winter.
