Another thing you guys down south need to be aware of. We got cold, pretty cold then we got snow. What that translates to is 4-6 feet of frost in the ground and lots of ice on the rivers. Then the snow. Lots of it. So little if any of the melt will soak in, most will run off. The snow will insulate the ground so the frost won't come out till the snow is gone.
I'm about 50/50. 50 miles east of the Red that flows north into Canada and 50 miles west of the Mississippi. Just a couple of miles off the divide. Got a creek here on the farm. About 200 yards from where I sit right now. It flows through a couple of lakes and then the Otter Tail river and then into the Red.
What to expect? Ice jams are going to create some problems especially when they let go and the melt? Well both Grand Forks (MN and ND) and Fargo are bracing for serious flooding yet again. If we get a fast thaw we can expect "overland" flooding again. Still the folks downstream can expect a lot of water one way or another. And we can still expect more snow before this ends.
So the next question is for you southerners in the flood planes? How long can you tread water?
Seriously, good luck. Hope everything works out and there are no serious problems.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
