Another thing you guys down south need to be aware of. We got cold, pretty cold then we got snow. What that translates to is 4-6 feet of frost in the ground and lots of ice on the rivers. Then the snow. Lots of it. So little if any of the melt will soak in, most will run off. The snow will insulate the ground so the frost won't come out till the snow is gone.
I'm about 50/50. 50 miles east of the Red that flows north into Canada and 50 miles west of the Mississippi. Just a couple of miles off the divide. Got a creek here on the farm. About 200 yards from where I sit right now. It flows through a couple of lakes and then the Otter Tail river and then into the Red.
What to expect? Ice jams are going to create some problems especially when they let go and the melt? Well both Grand Forks (MN and ND) and Fargo are bracing for serious flooding yet again. If we get a fast thaw we can expect "overland" flooding again. Still the folks downstream can expect a lot of water one way or another. And we can still expect more snow before this ends.
So the next question is for you southerners in the flood planes? How long can you tread water?
Seriously, good luck. Hope everything works out and there are no serious problems.

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
