Ice Jams

I took these a few days ago. After the snow storm.

And before my camera went for a swim.

Wait...I'm not going there! Just know it wasn't I who cracked through the ice on the pond, ended up to my knees and in order to save a puppy, dropped the camera in the water...nevermind, that's another blog.

Anyway, they're calling for more rain and quite possibly snow.

It could get ugly. I mean, it could get even uglier. Things up in this neck of the woods are not looking good.

We are far enough away from the river that we shouldn't be affected with its water. However, with more rain and snow on the way, yeah...we may have to sandbag in order to deal with the overland flooding. The pond has already overflowed its banks. The ditches are frozen. And while we are about 3 1/2 feet higher than in '97...it's hard to call.

All I can say is please, let it melt slowly. Very slowly. We can wait until May to hit the soccer fields and golf courses.

Please don't give us a quick melt.

North Side of the bridge- that's a lovely picnic site under that there water.

North Side

South Side

The quality isn't so good but just know, the water on the north side is as high as the water on the south side. And there is normally about a fifteen foot difference on either same. They're the same right now.

Needed to toss that picture in just to continue to give us hope. This winter from hell will end.... but just not too fast!!
