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

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

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:
the problem i see is all the snow melt... My alley is a soupy mess as of this afternoon... not a good sign as it means the snow is melting sooner than they wanted...
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. -
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...

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.

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.

We had to get 120 inches of snow in 97 to get to 39.xx or whatever.
the rain in the fall is the reason for this flood. the river wont rise much with all the snow thats left to be melted, especially with the hydrologic graph showing a decent curve going down.

although its only going down 2 feet in the next seven days. So if they were to show the whole graph like they were before it wouldnt look like much. The graph is kinda deciving
