I hope it doesn't warm too fast. If we can get a nice gentle increase in 
temperatures and it melts off SLOOOOWWWLY like last year, it will make for

two straight years of  "good rains" without spring flooding . something I 
can't recall happening for a very long time here. Both the ground water
and 
The Great Lakes would benefit bigtime from a second consecutive gentle
melt.

If it melts too fast, we'll have flooding all across the Missouri and 
Mississippi valleys, from the Dakotas to New Orleans and all points
between, 
and we sure as hell don't need that.
