Thanks,

We're fine, many are not. NE looks to be a mess and I'm afraid a few more places will suffer this spring as well.

Hot damn The AOC of South Dakota with balls. Cow farts. 🤣
As far as the sky is falling, that only happens when Nebraska Football sucks, which has been true since Coach Osborne retired. Everything else is no fugging sweat. Daily routine.
Steelhead, I feel for what you got going on there, it’s never a good thing. Hope everything works out for you and stay safe.
I am leaving Friday for a week to 10 days with a volunteer crew up to the Niobrara area to help. Thats what we do here. Help, not make light of another’s loss.

It was late February, early March. Everything is normal now. We couldn't get out, nor had power for 10 days, but it didn't get into the house. 2nd Highest in 120+ years.

I’m headed to Wisconsin in a week.
La Crosse.....

The Mississippi flows right though the town.
Do you think there is worry?

A re-occuring theme is the melting ice that has broken up is getting caught on bridges. Mostly on bridges that are older and tend to have pylons thst are set in the middle of the stream. Adding to the problems are falllen trees that block the ice causing the ice to pile ip. I see this as preventable but its rarely acted on.

As soon as breakup starts, someone needs to be proactive on getting the trees out of the streams and getting the ice moving. New bridges with clear spans would also help.

kwg

We are going to be facing floods in a couple of weeks.

They “state of California” is not dumping water from oroville yet.
When they do, mark my words the levees are going to be stressed.

Northern Cali guys feel free to chime in

KWG, Yes there is a reoccurring theme to this. Mother Earth is an unpredictable bitch. No matter what you think you know or try to prevent, she will find a way to cleanse herself. Man is nothing more than an itch that just hasn’t been scratched away yet. In the grand scheme of things we are just waiting our turn for extinction and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Not scientific, just fact.
Oooops, forgot cow farts caused it.

Lol smells like [bleep]

Swifty, You be careful up there, I don't think its over by a long shot.

I went up to our Hunt Club property this weekend. We have a 1/2 mile Niobrara River frontage that is covered in ice.
Some places 80 yards deep and over 8 feet high.

Here's a pic I took Saturday. That wall of ice in the background is 10 plus feet high.

Oh crap. Be safe men

Hello Neighbor. I ask my wife, is our flood Insurance up to date? She said it was.

The Sacramento River has been flowing good with the overflow going into the bypass.

It could get rather nasty around here, with the snow level above 150% Pray we don't get any warm rains.
Floods are no fun.

West Texas lost 10,000.

Raining now 1-3”. Weather for the area. Highs Upper 50’s to mid 70’s, lows in upper 30’s - upper 40’s till Friday then a refreeze and 3-6” snow. Going to get interesting.

It's the hyperbole that gets me pissed, it's flat here, does any river run slower than the Platte with the possible exception of the Jim in SD? Last fall it was reported we had an El Ñino setting up. That always means a late, wet spring. Some parts of SD flood regularly and are still there. Like between Sioux Falls and the Dunes. Not the end of the world with rampant starvation like the guy in the video says.

On the up side lakes in the northeast were way low and the prairie pothole duck factory needed a good recharge. Croplands were below normal in subsurface moisture.

Flash flood pending, snow in the hills and if we get a good, warm rain. Has happened before but there's nothing to be done except bet on if it'll happen or not. Rather than bitch and moan with the water we'll have when a little more snow melts I'll be setting up decoys behind the house to amuse the neighbors. Alys get some looky-loos to stop.
