Rising waters...

As if most of you haven't heard already, the Red River is continuing its rise here in the Valley with record crests expected in Fargo and points near there. Downstream, here in Grand Forks, our forecasted crest has once again been adjusted upward some.

The heavy, wet snowfall we received last evening has slowed the rise of the water over the past 12-24 hours, but as of 11:30 pm we are at 44.81 feet.

The cold temperatures this week may also impede the rise somewhat, as well, however there is still a lot of water down in Fargo that will be making its way up here.

I was down at the river Tuesday afternoon to get a good look at the river and to take a few photos. If you are interested in seeing these, I have posted them in my Photo Gallery. I was down there once again this afternoon and will have additional photos in the Gallery tomorrow night.

The city has a call out for volunteers for sandbagging parts of southern Grand Forks, so I may be doing that tomorrow evening. If you live around the area, we definitely need the help.

Be safe!
