yes, the rain has melted a LOT of this snow and the more open dirt we have the warmer it gets and the faster it melts. I've also noticed a number of ditches in south fargo that are backed up with water also. I about imagine most of the watershed is like that. Once everything opens up there is going to be a bunch of water heading to the river in a hurry.
And forecast doesn't look to be dropping below freezing in the next week or more.

pretty sure the plows didnt do anything in my front yard or alley... and ther is NO snow left in my alley... Fuck... Also, look at the river height today... spiked pretty damn fast if you ask me... went up .34 ft in one day.....im talking on the main roads where you dont have pull out half way into the street anymore that theres hardly any snowbank left.
my driveway still has a towering snow bank. the rain isn't going to do anyone favors when it comes to flood levels, but we haven't gotten enough to go into panic mode.
if you want to, go ahead.

Im going to start filling sandbags now for next year, i should be able to do about 3 million by then. When the water comes up again, ill sell them to the city, pre-made, on pallets, ready to go. For a small fee. Say about $.33 a piece.Well, did you follow through with this?

I'd say it takes it a hell of a lot longer to desend then to rise, cause the Hudson Bay it flows into, in Canada, is still frozen. -
which is about as funny as this.

We are fucked.what i said didnt word right, but whatever. just by listening to john wheelers weather report this afternoon on the radio, he said that the avg moisture we receive in march is forecasted into the flood crap, and we haven't hit that point where we should be concerned. especially when it looks like drier days ahead.
