We are still here

Just a little update.

The good, the river level has dropped 4-5 feet in the last few days.

The bad, 2 days ago we were nailed with a pretty good snow storm that left us with about 10 inches of snow that is now melting and will have to make it's way in to the river. Even worse, 30 miles south of us, they received over 20 inches of snow that is now melting and will end up in the river and will have to pass by us.

We are not exactly out of the woods just yet. They are expecting the river to crest again within the next 2 weeks or so.

We have a couple of schools that are wondering when they can open again to get the kids back. The city made a pretty good size mess out of some of the soccer fields so the areas around the schools are not exactly the safest. They dug them up for the clay to use to build levees, one is about 45 foot deep. It looks more like a construction area, there is greasy mud everywhere.
