  • Spring's coming, and so's the river!

     

     

    Every spring, usually in late March and early April, the old Ohio River comes a'knockin at my back door.

    Flood stage here is 50' and she's at 52.6 right now.

    I've seen it at 62'6" and it was 6" from the bottom of my basement door, so this isn't too bad.

    It's supposed to crest this evening at about 54' and start going back down. Hasn't really been raining that much, this is all snowmelt runoff from up in Pa.

    Thanks, Beth!

    Least I won't have to worry about cutting the grass for awhile.

    First I'm gonna have to clean up all the mess left behind!

    Something tells me I won't be getting any help from my lovely neighbors!

     

    What the heck, that's why God invented beer. For such times as these, it is a solace!
