Ma Nature’s getting this year’s ####show started.

I think there will be a lot of flooding in some places

 

[Rowdie]

It's always in Spots. Spots has the worst weather and other weather related activities like flooding. It must suck to live in Spots.

Thought the claim was "no moisture" in this snow. Some of my snow piles have melted down some, and no standing water ? ? ?

Plenty of water in the snowpack across most of ND.

sadly on my farm i went from boating in 97 3 weeks to almost 7 weeks last year on a flood that wasnt close to 97 height . I guess those lazer scrapers work pretty well.

Over here in the southeast the dramatically lower albedo in MN (trees, brush, etc) looks like it’s going to get the water moving first - hopefully we’ll get a staged melt (early melt from the Ottertail portion of the watershed).

I imagine you guys out west are cheering for us, as usual.

Not just cheering, but completely sponsoring it too.

All kidding aside, absolutely not wanting any flooding in the valley, good luck to all.

Couple thoughts..Sheyenne drainage looks ugly, and the MO river is going to live up to its muddy reputation this spring.

Any frost depth reports ? There wasn't much frost here with all the early snow , I peeled sod in January while pushing snow. The ground was very dry last fall in the RRV so the bulk of this snow could soak in with a little luck .

I've noticed in years past I've found way more ticks near water shed hunting and turkey hunting, this year should be an interesting one, but at least were getting the much needed moisture.

Thank you jer, That's good news for the RRV, theres no frost line from Fargo and south and at GF the frost line is 2'' with the top inch already thawed.
