Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I’ve been watching this storm for two days and it was just hovering over Phoenix with the flow going north over Flagstaff and us, barely moving eastward at all. Flagstaff got a record 36”. Stupid groundhog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Colorado Rockies are supposed to play the D-backs today down there.

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 @Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663, Since we are sharing pics, took this one when I went home for lunch.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Funny thing... Those of us in Seattle who got 10" of snow last week shake our heads at AZ folks complaining about 1-2". Those back east who routinely get 2-3 feet of snow shake their heads at the wimps in Seattle. And Eskimos in Alaska shake their heads at everyone else!

Alabama, due to all the rain, there are some folks building Arks. My 15mm Napoleonic battle I'm currently fighting on my 8x6 foot table. It's turn 10.

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 NOPE!!! No arks! Folks can't find enough gopher wood!! We HAVE begun training them big ol' channel catfish to pull rafts though. Proper bridle and bit construction is the key!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagstaff got a record 36”. Stupid groundhog. I have about 30 inches. I was going to go to the grocery this morning and my Toyota Tacoma got stuck in the driveway.....After 15 minutes I got it back inside and tried the Impala. It's still in the driveway. This is the first time in 77 years that I've ever been unable to get out, and I've lived in some serious snow country a time or seven or eight. No mail, no newspaper for two days. As a matter of fact I only got mail twice since last Wednesday. I wonder if this will impress the people whose checks are late this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Summer, WE laugh at people crying about 90 degree weather when we have 105 degree days. As for the snow, I was working, driving a TRUCK all day!

Fortunately, the Corps of Engineers is on top of it this time and they have been releasing water below major cities and holding water above them for more than a week now. The good thing is that in having done so, they have created some room to regulate the passage of flood water by completely closing some dams while allowing others to run much more flow than normal. The short answer is that they weren’t caught off guard this time! That gives us a much better chance to manage the problem from every angle. The situation would even be more manageable if it weren’t for the Snail Darter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 In the meantime, Tennessee has set a new record rainfall mark for the month, they have issued a statewide emergency, and it’s still monsooning!
