Wilson, if your thinking its going to flood your right. But not this time. I can almost guarantee it will before the seasons over. You see they been making major improvement to the canal on the pa side and that's a prerequisites to flooding.

Naw, I did not think it would reach flood stage. I was just amazed at the pretty big spike in a short time.
Level is coming down now.
Time to hit the SB falls!

Got a text from my buddy, "Just met a guy who lost his brand new $1000 floating dock, it's floating down the South Branch somewhere"

I was at the Water Gap on Sunday. Not only is the river high, but it's covered by huge slabs of ice. Really incredible when it starts moving. It looks like a slow avalanche as thousands of tons of ice starts grinding and knocking its way down river.

Occasionally, a big piece of ice will tumble out of the river and go crashing into the trees.
