A snowpack of one to three inches rapidly melted as warm air arrive in the region. This snowmelt, combined with a partially frozen, very moist ground and rainfall from two to locally over 3 inches, resulted in an increase in low land and river flooding running south of a Paulding to Ottawa line. At the onset, some flash flooding occurred in areas experiencing rainfall rates of one-half to one inch per hour.
