Springtime in Missouri, A Winter Wonderland…or is it Time to Build an Ark? from Scott Brooks
Check out this picture of my deck …and the snow is still coming down!
The ground is already highly saturated. This is a heavy wet snow, and it's still coming down. They expect it will snow continuously until early Tuesday morning (3/26/2013). If our deep soil moisture and water tables are not completely filled up yet, they almost certainly will be after this snow.
And to think…..the spring rains really haven't even started yet. Any "upstream" land that drains into the Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois or Meramec Rivers is going to pass through St. Louis and other agricultural parts of the Midwest. If that land "upstream" from here get's a lot of moisture, we could be in for some real flooding.
I'm not a weatherman and I'm not making any predictions, but this sure smacks of 1993 to me.
