The landscape is quiet

The wheel of time is creaking slowly on a frozen axis. Puddles form in the fields and ditches. Bare patches of grass are revealed on south-facing slopes. Tributaries are rising slowly. The day-melt and night-freeze cycle is good for sap flow in the trees and for moderating flood potential. But it is now spring and the seasonal precipitation is the final determining factor for the flood equation of 2011. As of today, it remains unsolved.
