This is the river behing my house today, shot with my cell phone. The ice jam just started to break-up. 'Black spots are 55 gal. drums, which means docks along the river, somewhere, were trashed.


This was the same spot one week ago, river frozen over and covered with snow; also taken with my cell.

I bet that is making a specatcular noise KLC?

Dry, Cold & Calm here today.

This is the river behind my house today, shot with my cell phone. The ice jam just started to break-up.

Growing up in several small towns in western Canada, I remember that the ice breakup was always a big deal. In one placed, the locals would place a junker car on the ice in mid-winter, chained to the shore, and then sell lottery tickets on when the car would fall through the ice. Proceeds always went to a local charity.

In another town, I remember the locals phoning each other when the ice started to move out, even at 2 AM, and everyone would go down to the one bridge in town and watch. A real party atmosphere. And yes, it can make quite a noise.

6C and foggy here this morning. A lot of snow gone in the last few days, but slow enough that flooding is not a big problem - yet.

He had heavy snow storms last night in my area.
The Autobahn was completly closed for hours.
It was maybe 15 KM away from my city.

One of my sons is living there will call him later.

Relatively warm here tonight.

Rain is picking up here, and the chance of flooding. This brings the Weather Threat Alert Level to sort of burgandy, but more mauve, with a bit of purple, kind of. Here is what the gov'ment has to say:

A low pressure system currently over Illinois will track toward Lake Huron tonight then eastward to Montréal by Thursday morning. Rain in advance of the low has reached southwestern Ontario and will continue to spread north and eastward through the day to reach the Ottawa Valley by evening.

For most locations, the rain will persist for approximately 24 hours with rainfall totals expected to be near or in excess of 25 millimetres. Due to frozen ground and a saturated snowpack, this meets Environment Canada's rainfall warning threshold of 25 millimetres in a 24 hour period.

KLC53, you should get this by Thursday as well.

Last week there was snow everywhere chaos across the country and I had to dig my car out.

Today I had to go to Bournemouth (about 110 miles south west of London). Roads were clear just a hint of left over snow in some fields. I stopped in the motorway services on the way back, and the sun was shining, the air was warm just like an early spring day, gotta luv the UK!!

Superjoker, if we could only find a way to get water to you, we'd have a billion dollar idea!

And Andy, it was funny you mention the noise from the ice jam. I didn't really notice it until I played back the video I had taken. That's when I heard it loud and clear. I guess when you've lived near the river all your life like myself, you become unaware of those sounds. You kind of take things for granted.

Is this weather, like, the first sign of the apocalypse?

By the way, I haven't seen anything on the thread from our Aussie mates. I hope they're O.K.

BOINC Wiki . . .

The heavy rain has passed to the north and east of us, so now we are only soggy, not flooded. Some wind damage overnight around here, combination of soaked ground and high winds knocked lots of trees over. Maybe not the apocalypse, but just more global warming.

It's been unusually warm here in northern New England the past few days. It was 54°F yesterday and its 45°F today with rain this morning. The amount of snow on the ground is dropping fast from 2 feet last week to about 10 inches today. I guess this is our annual "January thaw" even though we are well into February.

We now return to our normally scheduled winter, already in progress.

Snowing like crazy here in SW Ontario, as of a few minutes ago. The January Thaw is over.

'Kind of normal right now. Let's see how long it lasts. Still a bit windy though.
