After sub-arctic temperatures and a ton of snow and ice, we got a huge warm up yesterday and today. This is great for anyone who doesn't own a house, lovely weather, yay! Unfortunately, we own a house, so the morning was spent making sure the sump pump was running, and surveying the flooding around the house, and wondering how much higher it was going to go. It was kind of annoying that even though I was the only one in the neighborhood who bothered to shovel out the storm drain, we still got a ton of flooding into the driveway. That was nothing compared to the backyard. On the other side of our fence by our big ash tree, is a large storm grate. This has been gushing water like a geyser all day. Here are my crappy pictures of the flooding. Richard also has a very dark YouTube video of the geyser storm grate.
My parents got out early and their flight was delayed a bit, but they're now home safely. I don't have all the Christmas pics up yet, but we do have some nice food porn available. Enjoy :)
Ack! That looks pretty bad. I hope you don't need to start investing in sandbags. Thanks for the food porn!
