It feels like almost overnight Spring is here. New birds singing, snow melting away and water everywhere. It was very nice

my vein and my pulse
At the beginning of February we had 3 days of snowfall, which accumulated into at least 1 foot of snow. We struggled to get around with our car, but everything looked magical for a whole while. Then in the middle of February the weather turned mild and the snow started melting. Due to the high level of snow and the fast melt there was more flooding than usual and the River Tay next to the City of Perth, where we live, grew to over twice its size. I also show you the floodgates, which protect Perth, which historically has been flooded multiple times. Enjoy!
Also here is a little side by side comparison of snow vs flood:

You break loose a
Spring flood of emotions
Rushing down my heart
Like horses in the summer sun
But still as gentle as
The first leaves in autumn
And quiet like snow
In the deepest winter

"LIVING IN TREES AT LAKE ATHABASKA," Sault Star (Sault Ste. Marie). May 8, 1934. Page 1. --- People Reported Living In Tents Above Ground During Floods ---- Fort Chipewyan, Alta., May 8. (CP) - Men, women and children in the trapping area around Lake Athabaska today were reported to be living in tents pitched on platforms built into the trees 10 to 15 feet above the ground as flood waters emptied into the lake from the Athabaska and Peace Rivers. No estimate could be made of the number of persons in the tents.
The high water has interfered greatly with the muskrat catch. At Hay River, 10 miles west of Fort Chipewyan, residents fear that Ice from Lake Mamaway and Lake Claire may come down and sweep away traders' stores and cabins. No loss of life has been reported, but Horace McKay was rescued as he neared exhaustion while he was clinging to his overturned canoe in a creek. He is a trapper.
