Niobrara floods

I have blogged many times regarding the drought and the river going dry for several months during the summer, WE ARE STILL IN A DROUGHT, but there has been a good amount of snow the past couple of weeks and now we have had several days of warmer weather resulting in run off.  However the ground is still frozen and the water can't soak into the soil so in drains down hill into the river which still has ice over it so the water cuts across the meadow from one river bend to the next.  This should subside within a day or 2 and we will be able to cross the river to feed the cattle.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the drought.
