My Big Bold Prediction

With winter being something of a bear, but not hibernating, I'm going to go out on a very cold limb and predict something. I'm predicting flooding in the spring.

The snow is 10 feet deep at the shallowest place. We're able to clean our chimney just by walking up to it. I'm locking my upstairs windows now just to keep people out. It's ridiculous.

It's about time, not that it's getting warm yet, to go to the basement and make sure everything is up off the floor, because I'm sure there will be more than a trickle of water when the time comes.

So that's my prediction, and here's my advice. Get the sandbags out now. Maybe make a few sandbags everyday and have them stacked up somewhere handy. Avoid the rush later.
