The ice is off the river and the water's rising. We're not in flood stage yet but it's coming, much of Minnesota is experiencing floods. As the rivers break up and the ice melts, ice dams form and the water backs up into towns and homes. Its a mess and the state is predicting a drawn out flood season.

My new fenders are doing their job!
St Paul.
I spotted a Ruckus out and about yesterday. (a reasonable speed and height from which to fall from) There's still a ton of ice on the city streets during the early parts of the day. I imagine that shadows and north slops will still see ice for a while.
Riding season is coming!

Fingers crossed for a short spring and early summer for you. Except that probably would bring more flooding. Double edged sword that one. Glad you had some beautiful sunshine though (I say that as we are socked in with fog)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the fog! This is about the nicest March has ever been in Minnesota. Last year we got a foot of snow for Easter!
