Good thing... ;)   They're warning of flooding here in the Rochester
area... there are a number of creeks feeding into the Genesee that seem
to always have flooding issues with any significant melt/rainfall... 
Hopefully your house won't get any more water...  :)

We didn't get as much snow as you guys did.  The cold doesn't usually
stop the play so much as not having the materials to work with... I
