[QUOTE="Allen, post: 395479, member: 389"] You are more than welcome. Interestingly, since the flood of 2011, the current rise in the river of only ~2.8 ft is by far the smallest. The average is something over 5 ft with a range of 4.9 - 6.9 ft. I am not sure why this year it was so little but it's kind of fun to watch in real time if you can find where the ice is grinding to a stop. Similarly, if you ever get a chance to stand by a river as the spring ice comes off, it's kind of eery to watch and hear. Note, don't do it along the Yellowstone, I've seen videos of greyhound sized icebergs skiing up about 20 yds on the shoreline in MT. At first when I watched that video, I was like why doesn't someone go rescue those picnic tables, and then as the iceberg came ashore, it was pretty apparent why "it's just a picnic table" must have been crossing the mind of the videographer. The Heart R. as it passes through Mandan is another fun one to watch as the ice starts to break up in the spring. Ice jams and Mandan go together like PB and J. [/QUOTE]
