From my understanding lakes fill up much faster then they drain. Not too sure about the word normal though. Generally speaking ich still think beaver damns or lack der'uff has sumting ta do with it. Jest a guess doe.

I thought you were gonna ask if we got enough last night and my answer would be NO - I want the 21" forecast they had in Chicago!

While I would take higher water levels this summer for my BW trip, I just want more snow in general. I still have a lot of snowboarding I need to cram in before spring. Give me another 6 feet before March and I will be a happy camper. :P And yes, I am crazy.

I've seen enough snow. My children have seen enough snow.

55 3/4 inches = normal amount of snowfall here for the YEAR.

59 1/2 inches = how much snow we've received so far this year.

so YES I am tired of snow.

Trust, but verify. The Lord will provide !!!!

I hope so! I just wish I could keep it from landing in my driveway.

Flood predictions are already out. In my neighborhood the snow piles are up to the bottom of the street signs and to where the street trees branch out.

I love the snow! Greg, this years snow cave even has a support piller made of snow in it. That was B1's idea.

I'm just hoping for a SLOW thaw. A quick thaw could be trouble for our riverbank.
