Holy crap!!!! Now they better pray for global warming to melt the Mississippi River!!!!!

WOW thats alot of water to freeze

thats wild

Could you imagine if that would be down here? These crazy mofo's would be trying to cross it with their trucks! lol

Some years there has been chunks of ice floation down the Mississippi river in Baton Rouge.

I use to be involved a little with barge traffic going up the Mississippi. Usually sometime in mid-November the upper river closes to all barge traffic. This is due to low water as you go up past about St. Louis, MO. The river is not reopened until the ice [as seen in the pictures] starts to melt or float away. Those barges in the picture may not move for 6 more weeks.

When the ice "dam" breaks.....we get a rise down south.

I see I was wondering what would happen, I know the Corp is expecting a very high water this year. Will this make it worse or will it remain pretty much the same? I would expect a sudden influx of water as soon as the "dam" breaks. This could be bad if the river is already very high to begin with. Correct?

:pissed:
Thats why the tide has been Late.......Damn Al Gore:pissed:

this is just up the river a little further.

There are too many variables to predict what will happen 6 or 8 weeks from now. It is not looking to good right now, but things can change.

A few years back the Ohio river had some record flooding for a week. But by the time all that water got into the Mississippi river, the "crest" started coming down the river and slowly started falling by the time the crest was half way to the Gulf. We did not see any flooding in LA. that year.

If the mid west area gets a warm spell to melt the snow on the ground, that water could runoff and be gone before the main ice breaks free.

looks like we are gonna have a high river and fk up the fishing in venice till july:pissed::pissed: oh how i dont miss the days of burning a tank of gas to get away from the river water
