phade Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That's good in my book. The snowmelt coming needs to come slowly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HectorBuckBuster Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wow only 4 inches, my brothers works in a village and they have been replacing water mains like mad. He was saying the frost was running from 4 foot to 6 foot sometime when they where digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The snowmelt coming needs to come slowly for me. THAT is an understatement in your situation. This week looks to my horribly untrained eye to be a good slow melt......we sure as beans don't need a 50-60 degree day, nowhere nohow. I don't know where all this water would go if it came too fast........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the look's of it we all will need a boat by weekend.50 outside my window and the water running down the street is pooling.A slow melt is what we need I don't care what size drain or river we have it will not hold back a rappid thaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorBuckBuster Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The roads seem like they have rumble stripes every few feet, they have heaved so much this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Snow covered ground is not froze deep at all, under streets and exposed areas it's very deep, amazing how good an insulator snow is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
