The melting of a deep snowpack led to moderate or higher river flooding across portions of the upper Hudson River basin, including the Schroon River, Lake Champlain, and the Great Sacandaga Lake.
Snow water equivalents of nearly one foot began to melt during a warm period beginning around April 10th, and led to river flooding which persisted through the end of April.
Along the Schroon River, at least one permanent home, along with a few summer camps were flooded. On the Hudson River near Schuylerville, a sod farm suffered estimated losses of $225,000 due to prolonged submersion of sod in Hudson River flood waters. In addition, the New York State Canal Corporation was unable to open the Hudson-Champlain Canal in April due to high water levels.
