Wikipedia defines "
January Thaw" as an observed but unexplained temperature rise in mid-winter around January 25th. It looks like we are right on schedule this year. So far this year we haven't seen much snow fall and the recent predictions of flooding from the National Weather Service seemed to be unfounded, but correct.
The rain started yesterday afternoon and continued overnight. By early morning the local streams were running full and some flooding started.

Wow that looks pretty bad. Hope you weren't flooded.
Cassie, We had a lot of water in the Northeast but the frozen ground prevented a lot of damage. In 2006 we received damage from two floods but the Rome Township road crew made changes to Joyce Road and we had no problems this time. Link to 2006 flood pictures.
