Okay…. so we should be happy that the snow is melting, buuuuuttttt….. here’s my road home:

It’s worse than when I was on my way to work. To the left is a gate to the park – it’s totally under water.
Here’s a view from the bridge I cross everyday:

There is usually a sandbar there – I’d say it’s a good 10′ under water.
Here’s the neighbors at the bottom of the hill:

I cut across part of their property when I ride my horse… yikes!!!
I got a call that they closed that road & I have to go home another way. Two of those roads are also closed. I don’t have to sleep at work again – I can do it, I just have to drive a few more towns over. We are high on top of a hill above all of this so our house is not in any danger but Holy Heck … I can’t believe how it rose in the time I have been at work. I wonder what tomorrow will bring…. We went from snow days to flood days. Man – Minnesota rocks!

Ack! We get a ton of rain here and our rivers rise in the spring, but this land was made for H2O. Most, if not all, of the homes by the rivers have sump pumps in their basements. I am a S.Calif. transplant. I’ve never seen a basement let alone a sump pump before I moved here! Fortunately we live on a hill too.
Good luck on your commute!
The top pic – it’s now over the road. I tried to leave early to beat that closing but nope! *kicks ground*

I would think you’d just put on shorts Miss No-Weather-is-Too-Cold-For-Me.
Be safe — floods are scary. A friend of mine got flooded in Virginia in November and JUST moved back in.
Why don’t you trade in your car for a boat?
Good idea, ToT! Better yet – jet ski! Then I’ll need a snowmobile for the winter again…
