If the thaw is "sudden," I expect that Difficult Run in Northern Virginia will come over its banks and close major thoroughfares.<br /><br />I'm hoping for a gradual warmup. However, already here in Northern Virginia, houses that sit "downhill" are having major problems with basement flooding. The sump pumps couldn't keep up last weekend when we had one day of warmup.<br /><br />PS: Mr. AOW live at the top of a a hill, and we're always dry. No basement flooding here.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-37733300990882331002015-02-26T18:22:53.505-06:002015-02-26T18:22:53.505-06:00Baysider: There was a weatherman recently who wrot...Baysider: There was a weatherman recently who wrote that "California needs X amount of inches to get into a better position"....when we hit it, a few days later, he changed the amount of inches!
