Mega water
We had a few inches of snow again last night, then heavy rain all day today with warming temperatures. With the ground still frozen, everything is flooding. I just took a quick ride around town and couldn't believe the number of washed out roads, cranberry bogs that are flooding across the streets and yards turned into lakes. Good thing I have the little 13' Boston Whaler stored in the house garage. We may need it in the morning. Eisboch |

We had snow before the rain - lots of water. They shut down the Rt 44 bridge in Putnam because it was vibrating from all the water moving through. Last time that happened, they had the Great Flood of 1955. The stream that feeds my pond passed it's banks around 4 PM and I had to open the dam at the far end of the pond to release water - going out to take a look in another half hour or so. |

My mom and dad were on the second floor on the north side of main st Winstead CT, the south side of the street washed down the Farmington (Mad) River. The had a chair for years they had reached out the second window and grabbed floating by. Interesting stories of how they could tell which store had gotten washed away as the stuff floated by..... |

Going to leave the gates open for another couple of hours in case you were wondering. Lot of water moving through. |
