Plain Ordinary Winter Returns

Yes, old winter returns with nothing really brewing in terms of a winter snow storm. Looking at weather models 7 to 10 days show no hint of significant snow. There do look to be a couple of chances for an inch here or there. Sunday/Monday would be the first time that happens.

In reality, we do need to allow for some of the recent precipitation to flow downstream before we add to the already overloaded stream and rivers. The good new is there is some pretty heavy flooding in counties to our east and north but the early worries about the damns breaking near Monticello have been put to rest. Nobody thinks a catastrophic failure will happen which is amazing considering these dams were built in the 1920's. Very impressive engineering.
