They are having a big storm along the east coast which will probably follow the gulf stream to your back door. Have you got a boat?:cool:

OOh those are some high flood waters. Keep dry Zigs! We have not had as much rain as we normally get during the winter months and so I think we have only had one flooding episode. The weather in the Pacific Northwest is very similar to the weather of the UK.

OMG, take care, this looks a bit scary (or is it that i'm not used to heavy rains), specially the big water stream down the street :S.

We are expecting the big blizzard to start around noon today. I don't mind the snow just hope the power stays on, we have an all electric house which means we would be without heat. The amount snow that falls this weekend will add to any water tables that are all ready full.

Oh, I'm definitely not looking forward to the repercussions of this blizzard. I personally hate the cold, and I don't like how much snow we're supposed to get. I might take some pics, just to show you guys what is going on out here.

Crikey, the ground looks very waterlogged! Hope it doesn't get any worse!

Caravan has sunk into the ground by about 2 inches, we'll be getting the end of the American storm by Tuesday, could do with a bit of rain :D

So I took photos, but they're fighting me with downloading on my computer right now. If I can get them later I'll upload. Where I am, we got about 3.5-4ft. It's luckily not icy, but there is just piles of snow EVERYWHERE. My car needs to be dug out :[ Otherwise, kept electric at least, and it's sunny today :]

It seems like where I live is the place to be right now. We are not getting hit with a ton of rain or snow. We do still have to get through February and early March though

More wind than rain with this storm, although I've got wet feet as the workshop flooded from behind where I was working and I didn't notice straight away :rolleyes:

Oh no, doesn't sound good! Have you been doing more woodturning?
