It stopped snowing, and the river didn't raise...
So I guess I don't understand Where all these idiotic predictions come from. We get all this snow, and its supposedly going to crest in Mid April? That doesnt make any sense. This snow is gonna stay around for 2 weeks before it melts? You can quote me on this.
ITS GOING TO RECREST LATE THIS WEEK AT LESS THAN 37 FEET.My guess is that there was significant snowfall/rain south of here and once that water makes its way here we get a 2nd crest?

Give it an hour, we will have it hard again. They are saying a total depth of 12-18" of snow. And this snow is wet snow, not low water content snow. Thats nothing to sneeze at. Plus what I mentioned in the previouse post. I hope you are right. I'm sick of water/sand bags/crabby people, lolI don't think you will be right though.

I also beleive a lot of it has to do with the even larger amount of snow NE SD is getting. Plus they are expecting another snow/rain storm in a week + warmer weather.EDIT: Chuck beat me to it.
20 inches of snow already

Yay, the NWS finally stopped smoking crack... Steady decline til April 7th http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=fgf&gage=fgon8&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
Although, I think it will drop even faster than that.
Say that From A to B is one Foot of water. B to C is one foot, C to D is one foot.
The Amount of water from C to D is considerably less than from A to B. Everytime it drops another foot closer to its banks, it has to cover less width, which in turn is less water. Pretty simple. For this reason, It should be dropping at a continually faster rate every foot it gets closer to being back in its banks -

So according to that...'graph'...the Red River is convex all the way through the FM area? Hmmm...
No, actually that just inside the riverbed. If you look at it at floodstage, it would look like this. or atleast this is how it is in my backyard.
