Conservation authority warns mild spell will make rivers, riverbanks more dangerous

The London-area conservation authority is warning the public to be careful around rivers and streams this weekend as warmer temperatures turn the snow into water and slush.
The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) says rain and above-freezing temperatures will melt some of the snow on the ground and generate some runoff.
The agency isn’t anticipating any flooding, but it is asking people to be careful around rivers, streams, creeks, ditches and ponds, which may swell slightly
