Went to bed last night with a winter storm warning. Woke up with a snow drift in the driveway. We picked up somewhere between 6 and 9 inches last night and today. And yes, it's still flooding. Yes, our house is still fine. However, they revised the flood forecast to 41 feet - new record, woohoo! That has a lot of people struggling to get sandbag dikes built to the correct level. I tried to get up to Georgetown this afternoon to help friends raise their dike, but most (if not all) of the roads there are flooded out and the visibility was horrible. I went as far as I could and turned around - the snow let up for a moment and I had to snap this picture.
On my way back to town the only other vehicle I saw was a National Guard Humvee. It's an eerie feeling.
I came back home and got a call from my neighbor wondering if I wanted to go back out sandbagging, so we went to Oakport Township north of Moorhead and helped fill and transport bags until they ran out of sand.
