unicorndukeWe got three inches of rain yesterday and overnight. All the snow melted and the ground was still frozen, the creek rose enough to hit the bridge at 5:30 this morning. Thankfully, no trees came down and blocked it up, so we got away with it. Dad also got the pump and supplies in case the basement flooded but we didn't need it. The main issue is that the breakers are also in the basement so if it floods, we need to cut the power.
But it all turned out fine. The creek is wildly high, probably 10-15 feet higher than normal. It worked out for us, there's still some concern with the river nearby that it might flood once all the snow/rain from north makes it's way down.
The ground unfroze this morning enough for everything to drain off, so walkies were a little squishy but not bad.
Anyway, merry christmas

("walkies were a little squishy" gave me an immediate mental image of Mara looking doubtful.)
Snow, here; steady and not (yet) the forecast squalls.
And a merry christmas to you, too!
