Shenandoah River Float

Leave a comment

Another supremely peaceful float on the Shenandoah River. We started at home and floated for 4 hours up into WV. There were fewer birds this time for some reason (only one eagle). The weather (and the river) was still and calm.

The Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Model is Cool: Here Comes the Flood

Leave a comment

Living on the Shenandoah River is made easier because of the superb Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Model. Based on a set of sensors up and down the river, the model predicts water height and flow. Having these data makes planning (and not panicking) much easier.

The flood is coming, but never fear.  It won't even reach the car bridge on the creek.

Wheat Spring Branch down by the garden-ish. Empties into the Shenandoah river about 500 feet downstream.

The Three Day Spring

Three days of sunshine and some rain bring on the bloom in Virginia.

Spring in full swing.  Leaf buds ready to open.
