I must be psychic

Last night before I went to bed I posted this: And we're trying not to think about the small lake that our back yard will become.

This morning I woke up to this:



This was at 7AM. Now keep in mind that everything you see there was completely snow covered 8 hours before. I didn't go out to the barn this morning because I had to leave for a doctor's appointment, but Dar said it took forever for her to find a way around the deep water and the still-deep-in-spots snow.



This was at 2PM. Yeah, major fog going on in our area. We had to drive into Waterloo, and it took twice as long as usual because we had to crawl along the roads Very thick, very dense fogginess. Anyway, you can see how much more of the yard has turned to water by checking out the picnic table in both pictures. We're kind of agog at the possibilities of what's going to be out there by 6PM

And to top it off, the basement is, while not flooded, very wet. We were warned this would happen because of the huge snow pack and the extreme amount of melting going on in such a short time. We braved the fog to go buy a wet vac, because this is only going to get worse. Spring!

ETA: The funny thing is, that snow-covered circle over to the left? It's the pond. Still frozen. Bwah!

Too funny that everything is a pond, but the pond! I'm glad you all finally got a break in the weather though.

We keep joking about living in the Twilight Zone, because weird stuff like that happens all of the time around here.

Oh My Freaking Goodness.
The pond is frozen, priceless....

It is to laugh :) It's a pretty deep pond, and we've had like Ice Age cold temps, so I can understand while it will take a long time to completely thaw, but really . . . let's not get insulting about it. Heh.

You know, I think I said that very same thing when I got stuck in one of the quagmires on the way out to the barn :)

Great minds, man. Great minds.

Wow. You should get some ducks for the pond.

[maystone.livejournal.com]

Like say some rubber ducks with pirate patches?

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Well obviously, if you're going to have ducks, you should obviously have pirate ducks.

We had snow fog today as well! It was nerve wracking driving to and from work.

It was crazy bad. Then add into it the horse and buggy traffic, and things got really weird. Dar was a wreck, and I was just tired and headachey by the time we got home. But at least we weren't driving through it at night. That would have been a real nightmare.

So is everything flooded around your area, too?

Holy camoley!! You really do need a raft to get to the Alpacas!!!

Kayaks are light and are pretty easily carried ;> Flash flood warnings here as well...spring is here :>

[maystone.livejournal.com]

Kayaks scare the crap out of me. I could go with a dinghy, though. Hey, I hear you're getting snow. Us, too, tomorrow. I can take it in March, because I know it won't last long; the sun will melt it off in a couple of days.

How much are you expecting?

[windrider67.livejournal.com]

We got barely anything....so it was mostly just pretty watching it fall :>
