snowmelt
When all this snow was melted by two inches of rain, some things we've never seen flooded were under water:
With three pumps running, the Stoneborn Pottery basement was still filling faster than we could empty it.
Island Creek crossed Mt. Tabor Rd. and washed a car off the pavement.
A small hole in the hillside at the top of our pasture suddenly opened up and poured a torrent of water some twelve feet wide down the hill and into the barn, Augean stable-wise.
Jeddo Run silted over at the first culvert and trenched the road for 36 hours, taking a lot of the rock paving with it.
But our pastures, even under winter grazing, are holding firm.
Such is the power of grass.
