All the snow we've had this winter has prompted the Army Corps of Engineers to cancel its March pulse of water on the Missouri River.  The release of extra water from a South Dakota reservoir is meant to replicate a natural spring rise that prompts the endangered pallid sturgeon to spawn.

But the Corps today said the river is already high at three downstream points.  They will reevaluate river levels before deciding whether to conduct a water release in May.
