I fear the people that rent the house boats in our area. After a 1-1/2 hour training course they set off on a week or two trip up and down the river. They go right down the middle of the main channel and even think the barges are going to move for them. An in my area of the river it isn't...
Yep we have a warming trend this weekend as well. It is supposed to get above zero for two days in a row. My fear is that with all the snow the river will be flooded until mid summer.
