During Christmas we received a little snow as seen here with Corey standing on top of the pile. Notice how his knees are even with the railing on the deck !After the snow it rained a little, melted the snow and caused wetness.
This is the building in Snohomish with the flood guage. This flood was pretty good but it did not pass the 1977 flood. We needed about 6 or 8 inches more to beat the record.
Looking at the Snohomish River Bridge from town to the airport. Notice the walk way into the river.
WOW, I almost forgot to share the great news. I no longer have traffic cones protecting the holes in the kitchen floor. I ordered up a refinished floor complete with a cherry - brown stain for a warmer look. This all happened during the floods, so while I ran around working in flood water everywhere, Grandma and Grandpa let Corey and I sleep over. Arron, was more comfortable finding himself stuck north of the Snohomish River, lord knows he didn't want to miss any time at school during the flood. He bunked with his mom until the Snohomish River returned to its normal course. I didn't get many photos until after the weekend arrived but still you can see the retreating water. 
Arron has a picture trapped in his phone showing the level on the Snohomish depth board. This flood was a couple inches from the past record. I promise a photo soon. 
This shows the alternate route that opened a couple days before the highway opened.
