people thinking this is great that nobody is hitting the backcountry yet... this is why. Plus spring runoff has begun so the river is up a couple feet every day from the day before. More rain and snow will bring the possibility of flooding.

I just built a flower bed out back and planted seeds only to come in later in the day to see the warnings. At least most things I planted were seeds not expected to sprout for a few days yet. Wasn't thrilled to hear this but it's coming.

This is the kind of storm that kills cattle out on the range, there's more than 6" expected out on the flats. Most don't put cattle out in these parts until June but some already are and calving is still going on.

Guess I'll catch up on indoor stuff since it looks like I'll have to move in a few months, landlady is selling the place, the way the market is right now, it will sell the same day it's listed.
