Still on Flood Watch until Thursday afternoon. The river is about 10 miles away and im at such a high elevation that it has never been a safety issuse. I live between 2 cities and you need to cross said flooding river to get to them. Most people who live out here in the country work in one of those 2 cities...wouldn't want to have to cross a bridge today. :(
never any fun that's for sure
Ugh - sorry, Celeste.
30 and clear.
Thanks Victor, I have no intentions of leaving anyways......have everything I need right here. ^_^

lots of run-off there celeste, not a problem here at all thankfully, was even able to go jogging and there were no puddles
was 25 here this morning
How is the knee, Bill?
not perfect - i can feel it and i've been using the elliptical ever afternoon which had really aggravate it but it does not hurt like it use too - may try v-ball this sunday - of course i've xc skiing instead of jogging for the past three weeks so i do not know yet if it will hold up to that.
First time in quite a while that the trip to the feeders did not include any snow. Heavy frost crunched underfoot though. Temp now is 36 degrees with abundant sunshine and a light west wind.
36*F and rising, a few clouds. The Susquehanna crested last night and the smaller streams earlier in the day. Most were just over the banks, damage was minor. Lucky that the ice broke up during the warm spell. Ice damning is what took out part of the Walnut St. bridge in 1996. That was dramatic to say the least. The ice piled up against it and as the river rose it just lifted a couple of spans off of the pilings and carried them away. The old structure withstood many floods even Agnes, which closed it to vehicles, it was kept as a pedestrian walk since it connected the river walk, City Island, and the West Shore. Ric
Wow, that must have been scary, Ric. Was it caught on tape?
28° and sunny. Dusting of snow on the ground, callinf for lake effect snow for the weekend.
38°, windchill 33°, wind NNW 8mph, Sunny clear

I know there is a better video, but can't seem to locate it. Ric
Wow! That was awful!
Thanks, Ric. I didn't see a video on the Wiki link. Did I miss it? I was hoping to see a video of the actual break.
The Wiki was just for backround info. Ric
That that some crazy stuff, what I don't understand is why people rebuild in the same spot???
It's getting colder
37 partly sunny
Need to raise the bridge? Bridges across the US are in bad shape, a few here are sure to go. the 2006 'Mother's Day floods took out 3 of the 4 bridges into the center of next town north here, on much, much smaller river.
Jen, I say that all the time. The same areas have floods, mudslides, etc., over and over and people keep going back. Worse, we subsidize their stupidity with gov loans, higher insurance premiums, etc.
MA has a big problem all over the state with bridges - they are fixing the states only covered bridge here in Pepperell - well sort of, its be on/off for five years.
I think every state does.
