The November moisture frozen in the soil could lead to flooding issues in the Red River Valley in the spring. Grand Forks-based National Weather Service Service Hydrologist Amanda Lee says the mild winter has helped offset that. “We have not had a lot of snow (and) not a lot of water content in that snow so not a lot to melt and runoff,” said Lee. “It’s only the middle of January, we still have a lot of winter left to go. The spring is always a wild card.” Lee spoke at the Red River Basin Commission Land and Water International Summit Conference in Grand Forks.
