Flood Concerns

Concerns that snow melt and spring rain could happen all at once causing flooding are increasing. The ground remains solidly frozen with frost reaching 33 inches, twice the depth normally expected this time of year. That means any rainfall runs off the ground. The later freezing temperatures stay the more likely snowmelt will come as spring rain sets in, which could increase flood chances. The National Weather Service releases its spring flood outlook tomorrow.
