Well, it happened like this: It drizzled a bit this morning and was warm this afternoon. The stream overflowed its banks and we have a regular flood. It spread all over the flood plain and the road rapidly, which got rid of the snow fast. The school bus couln't get through and had to back up, clling for help from the officials. the water came to 4 feet from our house and looke like a lake. The mailman's engine flooded. Eventually little islands appeared and the water changed in appearance from a lake to a river-and hopefully improve even more tomorrow. 20 eggs today.
