The water has gone down behind my house by 2 inches since 4am. I hope we already hit our crest.

I know, I remember in 97, it went up 3 feet after the peak in a situation almost identical to this.

It looks like its only gonna get up to like 29 they're saying now too so if thats true all this snow shouldn't start melting till tomorow.

STiSchucky

Hopefully this time the NWS can be right and the forecast just shows a steady decline.

The watter never went down, then came back up. It just slowly rose... were not gonna get much more water than whats on the dikes now... maybe a couple inches if that.

I wouldnt bet any money on that. Pretty sure we havent even began to crest.

Just because the government is brainwashing the National guard doesnt mean you know anything darrick. Bring your ass over to my house and tell me the river isnt going down. You were saying earlier about a 43 ft crest like 2 weeks ago when they havent predicted anything over 41 yet. You have no idea wtf your talking about.> harwood39;268457 wrote:

I dont think snow melt will matter as much as they say, plus sun is the only thing melting the snow. It will start freezing up again in a couple hours.

PSiedTSi

Even if it does "double crest", the cold weather is helping the river drop before it gets more moisture in it. It'll melt sometime, but the longer it takes, the better chance we have.

Snow is melting pretty good. May not be 32, but the streets are getting pretty soupy. I saw a lot of drains with 6+ inches of water around them.

harwood39

the problem is that there is a lot of snow in the valley, gonna melt a lil today from the sun. than melt tomorrow from being warmer and sunny. but we are suppossed to get more snow monday and tuesday followed by 38-42 degree weather wed thurs and fri... not a good thing...

STiSchucky

I give up.

You guys, even if we get all this snow, its not going to effect the crest.

In 97 we had a RAIN/Freezing rain storm which is the reason why there was a 3 foot spike in the crest.

I'd be hella surprised if this fucker reaches just 41.5 feet, none the less 43. Its all common sense.

I'm quoting this. We will see if you are right. I hope so.

:icon_rr:

Please dont quote me on the flooding part. Im just talkin about the top crest in general. If a dike breaks, I dont want to be held accountable.

94NDTA

lol, no I wouldn't hold you accountable to the flood. Based on the amount of water (and snow waiting to melt) out west waiting to enter the river, the warm weather and snow melting (even now) plus the possible 12" of snow coming in a couple days PLUS warm weather after that....

It just seems nothing is going our way, I'm expecting the worse.
