Manitoba's Infrastructure Minister says the large snow storm that hit the province in early March isn't dampening the provinces flood outlook. 

Ron Schuler told reporters Friday morning that the risk of widespread major flooding remains low to moderate across the province, with a moderate risk of some overland flooding in low-lying areas along the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. 

The risk of major flooding is low for the Souris, Qu'Appelle and Pembina Rivers and for most major lakes including Lakes Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dauphin and the Whiteshell. The risk of flooding in northern basins, like the Churchill, Carrot and Saskatchewan Rivers near The Pas is moderate. 

"So far so good," Schuler said. "Let's keep our fingers crossed because it can all change in a moment depending on the weather."

Schuler says one area of concern is the risk for ice-jam related flooding in a number of areas. 

"Because we had so many weeks of very cold weather and low snow fall, we do anticipate we could have a problem with ice-jams because as it breaks up there could be bigger ice chunks," Schuler said. "It is something we are going to be very cautious about and we'll be watching." 

Schuler says ice jamming crews have completed a large stretch of the Red River and will be sent to other rivers over the coming weeks.

Schuler adds the province is in the process of speaking to people in the areas that will likely be affected by ice-jam flooding.
