Knife River is way up as well. Both above record highs accodring to the website. Hopefully everyone is staying safe.

That would be the high for that day on the calendar. 27.79 ft on 03/24/2009 is its all-time record.

You're kind of a handy guy to have around here Allen!

What the hell went on up in Minot this winter???

I think there must have been some technical problems with those numbers, If I remember right there was between 2 and 3 feet of frost 2 days ago and today at the same site temps are above freezing, I don't think It's even possible for frost thaw that fast .

Yep Knife got high last night at our place. This morning it had gone down some.

Thanks Allen. Definitely not as bad as I thought it was then

Our snow is probably 75% gone on the prairie and half or better gone in the hills and hardly any run off. It's been the perfect that here . Is there a map that formulates evaporation ? Had to be high with high winds and mid 40s .

I’m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.

 

[Davey Crockett]

I hope not. If that's the case next episode will be about trial and errors with battery acid .

Seems to be doing exactly what we thought around here: Soaking into the ground. Very dry fall combined with an early snow that stayed all winter really insulated the soil. It's fascinating to see how dry the ground is even a foot or so away from a melting snowpile in my backyard.

14 day below normal temps - below normal precip.

I'm pretty sure there are easier ways to make a living.

A bigger dart board would help.

Float stuck on sump pump last night and got about 6 in of water in basement. Know what I will be doing for the next 2 weeks. Not Happy to say the least. New pump installed after I used my old backup to get water out. New cast iron pump and wet dry vac set me back about 400 and now the clean up begins and I dont do stairs well. LB

Sorry, Buddy! My wife says this kind of adversity helps us old guys stay young. I am not buying it.

There was so much swearing going on that I would have to go too two confessions and I am not even Catholic. LB
