Partly cloudy and 100% humidity. The weather channel can't even get current conditions right. It says nothing about the thick fog over the whole area. Visibility is about 100 yards rn. Absolutely beautiful.

Had 3.13 inches of rain on top of the melted snow and ice saturated ground.

We're about where the white line is pointing to from the alert balloon ⚠️
Thankfully I don't flood here but our access road is along side a river which accepts runoff from other tributaries and sends them along to the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
I still feel we live in a very strategic location wetherwise.
 
Had an ice storm last night. I ended up working from home today to avoid driving in it this morning. Pic from the window, because it's slippery out there. :) Porch and driveway and everything else trapped under ice. :)

Idiots! On another road close by.
Gonna rain tonight low of 32°F then winter storm Monday night into Tuesday.
Our road not as bad as usual when it floods but a pump malfunction in Huntington caused worse flooding than normal in 50 yrs.

"Turn around, don't drown" is the phrase here, especially during the monsoon season, if we have one. People just don't realize, even on familiar roads, when it's covered with water, you can't tell if there's a 15 foot section washed out. There have been been instances when people aren't found until days after their vehicle was washed hundreds of yards down a "dry" streambed. It's a tragic end caused by impatience? Carelessness? Inattention? Ignorance? The road signs say "Do not cross when water is over the road," but people still drive past them.
Flash floods are no joke.

It was back in the mid-90s, but my uncle actually got caught in a flash flood in his little truck once. Driving home in the mountains in the rain, and was crossing a dip through a gulley. Barely a couple inches in a foot-wide stream at the bottom - pretty normal for any amount of precipitation - but as he was crossing he got hit by a wall of water. Carried him and the truck more than 100 yards down the gulch before the flow died down enough for him to climb out the window and scramble to safety. He made the regional news. The flooding was so sudden and strong it wiped out roads, buildings, and bridges for miles, all in cloudburst less than an hour long. Loads of property and infrastructure damage, but it was a very rural area so somehow my uncle was the only thing close to a casualty, and he didn't even get hurt. Lots of people cut off for a couple weeks, having to drive 2 hours the long way around to get to town when it would normally take 1 hour.

He was a hell of a mechanic so was able to get the truck fixed up afterwards, and sold it to my mom a year later. She kept a copy of the newspaper clipping with the truck pictured buried in debris in the glove box with her registration and insurance.

Roller coaster week as we move out of winter (after almost 2 weeks of 70s and 80s) and into our cool, windy season (about a month). I moved my ports back inside. I was hoping the sun and warmth would perk them up, but I haven't noticed much difference.
