Well the great thing about rain and the warmer weather is that the parking lots will no longer be ice rinks...

So who wants to guess on where the worst flooding is going to be. Joking with a friend, but if it gets as bad he thinks it will, Richmond pump stations are going to be running WOT, and if one fails, all the low areas of Richmond will be re-named "Lake Richmond" He does maintance to the city emergecny generator stations. So he all too aware of the condition of some of the older machines.

Middle of side streets with tire tracks are still too fucking high.
Doesn't seem like its melting at all. That's the only thing keeping my car from being drivable.
