Is pestilence next or is it locust swarms?

I hardly know what to say. That a black cloud seems to be hanging over my head is clear - though when it will go away is anything but. After being stranded in snow we are now stranded by flood waters. Record flood waters.

I was SO happy to get back to work on Monday - back to a normal life with a routine and everything! And then the rain started. When I left work yesterday afternoon the traffic cameras pointing to the road across the valley showed some water standing in the fields but clearly the road was open. By the time I got to the valley 20 minutes later there was water over the roadway and I had to go around to the other bridge. By the end of the day that road was closed as well. So here we are, waiting for the next plague... hoping our power stays on but knowing that the main power line into the whole community is sagging down into 10 feet of water and it's only a matter of time before it snaps...
Very depressing.
Anyway, here's the road (and the power line):

And here's the community message on our cable channel:


Lovely, huh?

Wow! That's quite a flood! Does that mean all the snow is gone?
