Combined with record setting snow pack in the mountains, this will lead to some massive flooding.

Not sure where you are (Oregon? California?) but BC[0] and north NW US[1] are low.. 88%-95% of normal. Alberta is even worse, although it's hard to find numbers ([1] shows 60-70% for southern parts). That's partly because of the early heat that's already reduced the pack. Drought this year, not floods

I was thinking of Utah when I wrote that.
