                  since im sure none of you get this far south, if you had any idea how much water is south of breck/wahp in the bois de soix basin you would be getting your asses in gear. Put it this way, you are totally fucked. I would start planning on either large walls, or start cleaning out the basement, and just expecting to shut down the house and move out for a couple weeks.

                  In 97 we had 6" of water in front of our house, we are preparing to push up a 1-2' dike around the house already, In fact there was so much water last fall our yard flooded from rain 6 times. Never before has this happened

                  haha.

                  so fucked, despite that the percentages from februarys forecast and todays have gone down.

                    yep, predictions went down... but like that means anything... The paper today basically said in a nut shell that it is not going to be like last year... we will see... here is the latest predictions anyways...

                    FARGO ND
                    90% - 33.8
                    80% - 34.6
                    70% - 35.9
                    60% - 36.9
                    50% - 38.0
                    40% - 39.4
                    30% - 39.9
                    20% - 40.6
                    10% - 42.7

                    so over all they went down about a foot...

                      About a week or so ago, the white rock dam was flowing more than I've ever seen it flow. However, I heard they are drawing down the reservoirs so that's likely why it was flowing so much.

                      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                        they're drawing down all the reservoirs in the area. I think ashtabula is coming down 5-7'.

                          From my reading, it appears that 20% is still 40.X?? I don't see the foot drop?

                            10% - 42.7

                            so over all they went down about a foot...

                            Compared to Feb 19th. And all these are taken off the actual text file the NWS puts out. As it is easier to get the actual numbers compared to off the graph.

                            70% - 37.0
                            60% - 37.8
                            50% - 38.6
                            40% - 39.6
                            30% - 40.3
                            20% - 41.0
                            10% - 43.7

                            so the smallest drop is at the 40% mark at a drop of 0.2 ft... and largest drop is at the 70%/60% marks at a drop of 1.1 ft... The average across the board is about a foot... But like i said, it doesnt really matter til stuff actually starts happening...

                                        It's the rain and speeding up the melting process of the snow... notice we went from 3-4 feet of snow on snow banks to being able to see grass in some points in a matter of 3-4 days?
