The high snow is settling but the low elevation stuff has started to melt. The irrigation canal that circles around Garden City is full of snow and ice. When the snow melt hits it, the water has no place to go. The result is overtopping the canal bank and heading down to the fields and houses below. What amazes me is how much the wetlands that have yet to be developed around the lake act as big sponges to tame the runoff. The whole situation is frustrating because in many cases you can't do anything about it. Mother Earth does what she wants. This is just the beginning since there is billions of gallons of water in the hills. Everyone thinks it is someone else's problem. No, you need to take care of your property and blame someone else later.
