The crest

Our river crested yesterday, for the first time anyway. It receded almost a foot overnight. Unfortunately, a winter storm blew in and dropped three or four inches of snow before daybreak. Our gravel road is almost passable again, but now the highways are treacherous. Downstream, the Red is still rising. Public officials issue contradictory announcements, calling for more volunteers and advising no travel.
