Flooding in Alberta
<html>
<p>Today I was going to post a very different post. &nbsp;I started my day off doing wood and planting the last of the garden. &nbsp;I am doing all of my plants (except for root vegetables) in the house. &nbsp;This went according to plan. &nbsp;It was a good day. &nbsp;This evening has been quite an adventure. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31180257_1914951085229837_8339023577525256192_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=2c97b2ef2d5102dcb03c87f4a0dc614e&amp;oe=5B6C2883" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>Here is a picture of the dugout at 11:30 this morning. As you can see it was filling nicely. &nbsp;We had some room to spare for more water to come in. &nbsp;The post in the water is to check the water level. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31265364_1914951775229768_7855693955470458880_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=0fe72b14058accf1f94e34ae3104dc9e&amp;oe=5B4F88F6" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>Now the time is 6:20 pm and the culvert that is under the driveway is beginning to fill. &nbsp;The water is coming from all the bush that is north of us. &nbsp;This includes our own snow melt but most of it is coming from other places.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31171330_1914952221896390_5023264178828214272_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=9957d5cc3a479b0b8d4b977fffa98d38&amp;oe=5B65C1F4" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>Here you can see that the water is coming from the bush that is in north west. &nbsp;Every year we have water come from this direction. &nbsp;Usually it is not a problem. &nbsp;In the 11 years that we have been on this land we have never seen water in this amount. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31183594_1914952545229691_3108677937067458560_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=8a808fb9d07b0efa65dce70de7d7dc30&amp;oe=5B6B671C" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>This is the dugout this evening. &nbsp;We are working to keep the water away from the house. &nbsp;You can see Rob working to rebuild the trench that will have the water flow toward the neighbours dugout and toward the county road. &nbsp;He has taken a walk and tells me that the water is already flowing over the county road from our land.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31178226_1914953215229624_4529847718704578560_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=6bd7883ace6dcb8c27991c39096843cb&amp;oe=5B5333F5" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>This is the bridge we built to walk across the water flow. &nbsp;Usually we have no problem the water is quite a bit under the bridge. &nbsp;I was using this bridge this morning to get supplies from the greenhouse. &nbsp;The greenhouse is also flooded. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31189608_1914953708562908_775458724704681984_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=dd19948604930c1a2d38c090dbe7d93c&amp;oe=5B9C3DF3" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>&nbsp;had to park the van part way down the driveway so that if we need to get out we can. &nbsp;This is a good thing because the water is rising very fast. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/31230113_1914954281896184_4100994478284734464_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=fe07d6e17e01f57c46b80819684afc57&amp;oe=5B9B44E7" width="612" height="816"/></p>
<p>Here is Rob contemplating what to do. &nbsp;This picture was taken at 6:45. &nbsp;We have never seen this quantity of water. &nbsp;The scary part is that we are just at the beginning of the melt. &nbsp;&nbsp;This is some crazy Alberta weather. &nbsp;&nbsp;I will keep you posted as to how it goes. &nbsp;I have spent 40 minutes in the house and I think the bridge is buried. &nbsp;</p>

I hope that you guys can manage the water.  The bad news is that there is a lot of snow to melt.  The good news is that is is finally melting.

This is crazy. We contemplated getting a small boat last year when the bridge to out main road flooded. Good idea to park your car away from the rising water...

This is crazy.  The weather is changing and I think it is all over the globe.  Yes It was good we parked the car down the driveway.  In the end it was all ok.  But we had about 48 hours of not sure what was going to happen.

A boat might not be a bad idea in your situation.

Thanks for this nice update on your weather condition.

It's nice to know that you have the highest amount of water flow in 11 years and hopefully the water should be sufficient for your and other families.

The pictures are really awesome and tells a lot about the condition there.
How amazing the earth mother which keeps up with different environmental conditions and keeps providing good things to mankind.

Thanks for sharing and I have to say Rob looks good with shovel in his hand.

Have a wonderful day :)

It is great that mother earth provides for us in all situations.  The water is still flowing.  This was a huge melt.  I knew we had lots of snow but I am surprised that the water is still flowing.  

I agree that is a good picture of Rob.  I will have to keep that one.

How is the weather conditions over there?

Weather here continues to be hot with occasional rain but that is not enough to bring down the temperature and I think we are in for one of the hottest summers as we still have about 1 and half month to actual rainy season to start.

Nice to know that you too like the pic of Rob :)

O wow!! its amazing how fast it can turn! That's ALOT of water! We are a few days behind you I think. I had water within inches of coming in the house, I had to make the trenches a little deeper, but it is running downhill now.  When the snow really start melting, I will see how it goes. 

Did you get the water diverted? hopefully you will have some sun and wind to help clear it up.

When Rob is leaning on the shovel...makes me smile. That is the perfect picture. :) It just is what it is. 
Huge love to you both! Hopefully you can blog what you intended to blog soon! :)

Yes we did get all the water diverted.  It has slowed down now.  I was planning on doing an up date today and doing part of the original blog about my indoor garden.  We had a flash melt.  It is amazing how fast the snow can melt.

I am glad you didn't have water in your house.  That would have been horrible.  ah off grid living what fun.  It really keeps us on our toes.  

That is a good pic of Rob leaning over the shovel.  Hugs to you as well.

It is similar to where I live. I think @earthmother can relate as she was telling me that she has a moat lol. I have 2 garages, the first one has started to accumulate some water and it freezes over night. The 2nd one has the greenhouse attached and the floor of the garage has flooded and in solid ice, while the greenhouse has a big puddle at the entrance. No fun... Need to get that sun in those garages somehow! 
I wouldn't have a clue on what to do for your flooding. I hope it is not as bad now and hasn't reached the house!

Yes we are hearing stories from many places that there is flooding.  I was hoping we would not have to worry this year.  I will have to see if @earthmother has done a post about it.  

Getting sun into the garage might be challenging depending which direction it is facing.  You could put a heat lamp or one of those space heater.  That might melt the ice.
