Two years ago when the big floods hit - we did have late snow and the ground was saturated and we received 14 or 15 days of straight heavy rains - this year - the ground is relatively dry - not at or near saturation point and since our snowpack melted gradually, there was time for maximum absorption. Remember we recv'd something in the are of 15 inches of rain in 2006 and last year about 11inches of rain - in a very short span. Nothing like that is predicted.
