WINNIPEG — Manitoba flood forecasters are warning the province will now see flooding higher than 2009 levels following a series of late winter storms in the northern United States.
Officials say heavy snow south of the border across the Red River Valley in the last week will have a substantial impact on the region, as water flows north.
