Hey upinjewett, I got outa there on wednesday night after shoving off the roof and the deck. The nieghbors near by reported that their barn and the roof of there trailer collapsed. A couple of buddies over the hill on 10 also lost there tool sheds and 100 year old barns. The dairy farm up over that way and not Tuttles on 23 lost there barn with about 60 cows in the barn being rescued. 9 cows died. Wheres the beef. Youre right about the flooding on the melt down. Maybe the new flood plaid report was right on the money. So much for global warming! That Gore should be run out of town. Good Luck and I'll see you floating and fishing down route 23 next to the Bativia kill :grin:

I've raked the roof on the fish camp 5 times or more in the last few days - Jeez - John B - That's right, where is all this stuff gonna go ? I don't know - Probably in my cellar, where the Electrical Panel is - Bang !! Just hope the breaker out on the tub goes - Hey - For the most part we are deaing with this - we're digging out - As F'up as this is,
it's still better than being in NYC DOO WHA DIDITTI - It's getting taken care of in small steps, with friends in the village, that's real friends mind you - I'm doing as much stuff for others around here as well as I can - And that's without the local gov involved. Now JB - In terms of Global Warming - Well I not sure about all that - There are big snow models thst come with that deal - Who knows at this point - G

I was feeling sorry for myself after shoveling 20" of snow 3 weeks in a row but that picture leaves me speechless. There should be plenty of snowpack for this spring. Hope that the warm up is very slow. Don't need all of that stuff hitting the streams in a hurry.
Hang in there, it's almost spring.

Most places got lots of snow last week...a lot of rain this week could definitely cause flooding. Lets hope it doesn't come to that.

I hope I'm wrong - But flooding of some kind looks like it's in the cards - Just hope it's light - There's still over 3ft of snow where I am - It;s gotta somewhere. Maybe this storm will stay alittle south.

upinjewett ... hopefully, this weeks warmer weather will have helped melt and soften the snow, some ... the 1996 winter flood was as horrible as it was, because the rain fell on hardpack snow & ice ... any rain that fell, flashed off the ice and and into the creeks ... no buffer, whatsoever ...
what worries me this time this time, is the amount of deadfall that came down from the weight of the big snowstorm ... if that stuff gets washed into the creeks, gets piled up, and gives out, the result can be a downstream domino effect from trib to branch to main ... this is what happened in rockland, when a bunch of beaver dams ripped out in cat hollow a few summers ago ... by the time it hit 206 in rockland, it was like a tsunami roaring into the beaverkill ...
please keep us all posted ... tele.

That's a good point about hard packed snow surface vs soft surface, had't occured to me - This week definitely softened it up - trouble is there is still over 3 ft out there for whatever is going to happen today - We will see tonight - NOAA is calling for sleet and snow, which could work out for the better, all depends on how much rain comes with it.
