So Who's Gonna Get Wet?

[Chas'n Tail]

So after reading that we're supposed to get anywhere from 1/2 foot to a foot of snow through Tuesday night, adding that to what we already have, I'm a little nervous for the spring flooding. How are things shaping up where you are?

I read the title of this thread and thought, "With two kids and full-time jobs, NOT MY WIFE."

...Sigh...

Already filled around 45,000 sand bags in our neck of the woods, should be an interesting thaw

You sir owe me a new monitor i just spit all over it hahaha

The Souris river has me nervous. I don't want to go through a total loss of property like I did in 2011.
once in a life time is more than I can handle.;:;banghead

In Dickinson we will be fine, or at least most of us. Might have some high water running through the Heart river, but I don't for see any more than that.

 

[Bed Wetter]

Already there...

 

[Fish whisperer]

I too was tricked by the thread title...I was hoping for my wife or at least something along the lines of the coffee thread.

 

[DirtyMike]

if it floods I'll be filling sandbags. If it doesn't I'll be doing whatever else that day. I'm not going to get too worked up about it until then.

...Flood Outlook Highlights...
This issuance of the monthly probabilistic hydrologic outlook includes
the vast majority of the spring flood season in its effective time
period. Accordingly, this is the first good look at the overall risk to
the region for widespread flooding. In the below tables, all forecast
sites have at least normal levels of flood risk with many sites being
well above normal. There is a pattern hidden in the below tables, and
it mimics the existing snowpack very well. Forecast sites in the upper
part of their respective basins, such as Manning on the Knife River and
Regent on the Cannonball are very much near normal. This is because
the snowpack in the southwestern corner of North Dakota is not very
impressive; that region has between 2 and 2.5 inches of water
equivalent on the ground. Contrast that with the downstream sites on
those same river basins and risk of flooding climbs very quickly with
between 4 and 5.5 inches of water equivalent in the lower half of the
basin. Looking farther east and north, streams like Beaver Creek,
Apple Creek, and the upper James River basin are all holding between
4 and 5.5 inches of water equivalent. This is well above normal and
puts much of the area in the top 10 snowiest winters up to this point
in time.

Importantly, there is still plenty of winter left for the snow to
either disappear due to sublimation, or for additional snow to add to
what has quickly become a memorable winter. The take home message to
remember is that there is already enough water on the countryside as
snow to put the risk of spring flooding at well above normal levels.
The February 16th issuance of the Spring Flood and Water Resources
Outlook will provide the best assessment of the risk prior to the onset
of the spring flood season.

I suppose this would be an improper place to plug my line of work? (Flood Protection)

oh nice, a tampon salesman.. Nice to meet you good sir

wonder if you could pull some strings on getting us a group discount?

That was a good one, but seriously that is what I do. We have barriers all over the world. Pretty cool that it comes from right here in good old ND. If anyone wants to talk about it, feel free to PM me.

bah, this sluggo guy has no idea what he's talking about. Probably lives down in the south Bismarck flood plain.

I'm kidding. I live there too.

I'll be honest right up front. I'm with the others when I read the subject, my wife came immediately to mind. Wishful thinking.

I'll be honest: I read this title and thought, "what happens between me and my wife and his goat and my chickens is none of NDA's business." Perverts.
