"WE HAVE ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTHERN ZONES FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING DUE TO ICE JAMS. ICE HAS BEEN MOVING ON
SEERAL RIVERS. THERE IS STILL A FLOOD WARNING ON THE SACO AT
CONWAY DUE TO AN ICE JAM. WE ARE CLOSELY MONITORING THE
PEMIGEWASSET RIVER AT PLYMOUTH FOR POSSIBLE ICE JAM FLOODING."
I'm in Plymouth right now. Hope all is well. A few years ago an ice jam snuck up on Plymouth and destroyed hundreds of cars parked in their PE center. Many floated miles downstream. It was literally a disaster.
Here is the current state of the Pemigewasset River in Plymouth.
The blue line shows that the river crested at 11.26 ft earlier today, and hopefully the drop will continue. But with ice jams, you never know, and the water level could spike up in minutes. Hopefully everyone is on guard and ready to take action just in case there is a flood, because the PE center is on the flood plain, and many park their cars there.
Anyways, I'll be hone later. I went hiking today and I'll post some pics of it.
