April totals
I began tracking in May, 2013, after the 2012 drought. In 2014, we had flooding, as well. Late snow on the crocus. This year we've had a goodly amount.April 2017 in Ottawa was warmer and wetter than normal, but we did have a lot less snow than normal. @BlacksWeather #ottweather pic.twitter.com/Dej3dtG8N7— James Wilson (@wilsonjamesb) May 1, 2017

There were winds, and the resulting power outages. There is flooding across low-lying areas, too.

A months worth of rain coming in the next 2 days. With already saturated ground, some flooding is likely. pic.twitter.com/38PDW9BxiU— Anthony Farnell (@AnthonyFarnell) April 5, 2017
April 4th – AND, RAIN! We had 28.7 mm (~1+")
April 3rd – something's on its way!
April 1st
A bit of an April Fool's Day joke!Eventually it all turned to snow fall, after a time. I measured the snow, but since so much melted, I used the rain gauge and we had 14mm of precipitation fall, over about 6 cm snow.

Hi Jenn, it has been a crazy month weather-wise. The water around here is at a 100 year high. We drove by the Bay of Quinte on Saturday and the water has crested the banks and was lapping on the grass, something we have never seen before.
Hopefully the weather will warm up shortly.

If you like rain, the next two weeks should suit you fine according to the forecast anyway. I am not inspired by this as May is the time to do the gardening.
I see you're interested in Meteorology records. I suppose one can learn a lot from keeping track of weather behavior. Kudos to you.
We had a lot of rain. Flooding conditions were a problem all through the Ottawa Valley last month. I live relatively close to the Rideau River in Old Ottawa South, but I didn't make it over to the east side of Bank. I know Windsor Park had its problems.
