Orvis Trout Bum of the Week XX: Maggie Mae Kuhlman
A couple years ago, we ran a series called “Trout Bum of the Week,” in which we highlighted some of the guys living the good life. . .of a sort. (See the bottom of this post for a link to the previous installments.) This is our second round of profiles. Most of the subjects are guides who have turned their passion into a vocation, spending their time in an outdoor “office” that may include a drift boat, gorgeous mountain scenery, and crystal clear water. Others do have day jobs but manage to spend every other available minute on the water with a fly rod in hand. Whether you aspire to one lifestyle or the other, it’s illuminating to explore the different paths these men and women have taken on their way to achieving “trout bum” status.

Computer model forecast flooding in Calgary 10 days before deluge
E.U. researchers predicted surge of Bow River
By Matt McClure, Calgary Herald February 10, 2014
Ten days before Calgary was inundated last summer, supercomputers half a world away were spitting out predictions that showed the city would soon be flooded.
Using state-of-the-art weather forecasts that can see rain coming weeks before clouds appear on the horizon and a mathematical model that calculates how precipitation runs off anywhere in the world, Lorenzo Alfieri and his team of researchers in Reading, England, could see that the Bow River was almost certain to surge in late June to levels higher than those seen during the disastrous 2005 floods.

Canmore plans for early flood warning system sparks debate
Town officials, experts differ on value of system
By Colette Derworiz, Calgary Herald February 5, 2014
.... At least one local expert suggested it’s not a good idea for the town to start its own early warning system.
“I advised them not to go there,” said John Pomeroy, a University of Saskatchewan hydrologist who owns a home in Canmore. “A town shouldn’t be in the forecasting or prediction business.
“They don’t have the technical capability or depth of knowledge to do it adequately.”
Forecasting, he said, should be done at the highest levels — such as Environment Canada or Alberta Environment....
