The Flood is Coming...

The river ice behind our house is almost completely thawed. While the grass is still not visible I began to wonder: What are the river levels? There are two items to watch: the levels in Winnipeg that say if we are flooded and the levels in Grand Forks North Dakota that say if we will be flooded. So far we are above the median and the flood forecaster is saying things like: if we get xx millimeters of precipitation in the next xx days then we will reach the 1996 flood levels. No one is talking 1997 levels yet but it will rain today...
