Get on the Black Horse. 

Mount the javelin/joust. 

Go drive thru it about 37 times yelling 

"Wehee, woohoo, Wehee, woohoo!!"

 

That's what I'd do.....

[ebinmaine 67,309]

I know you're not all that far from Scotland. 

 

If that's a Nessie monster's head you may wanna call someone. 

 

 

 

[Stormin 9,981]

 Not deep enough for Nessie. That's one of the resident moor hens. I think/hope.

[ebinmaine 67,309]

If you find that it's something cryptozoological put a concession stand and ticket booth out at the end of the lane.

Your wife has been asking you to fix the dripping faucet for several weeks, now look at the mess it has created!

STORMIN, yes, just a wee drop, if your snow blade is mounted you could have some fun waving that water on the side  grass areas ,keep it afloat , pete

Hey I kind of like that idea. Giant Squeegee Mode of a snow plow is not something you see everyday.

STORMIN,  looking at the long picture with Nessie just  in the background  , on the right side of the road , there is a natural dip , next to those green bushes , just a simple cut or slice from road to drop off would help to naturally let that drain off . once it starts a natural flow off the road , it will continue on its own , pete 

[Stormin 9,981]

Eric. I have thought about driving the C-125 through as it has the blade on. Thought the water wouldn't go anywhere.

 

Pete. That dip you mention is a bit of a ditch that doesn't go anywhere. That's also full of water.

 

We are not far of the coast and low lying land. Although there are ditches and small rivers that run to the sea, if there's a lot of rain and a high tide the result is what you see. And we've had continuous rain for 48hrs and it's still coming down.  

 

 

[ebinmaine 67,309]

You keep that up and you're going to need a fully automated sandbag maker

[peter lena 8,583]

stormin, got you, have a large unfinished lot behind me , with a natural down slope toward my house, years ago saw the water build up issue  , and cut some drainage flow areas , once they started to continue the previous blocked point , now its a seamless natural underground flow with any rain flow , pete 

[Stormin 9,981]

The two properties opposite, ex-farms, have front yards that dip down. Both flooded now. Buildings stand a little higher and don't get flooded. So far. Our place is about 3ft above the water level.

This is thecoverflow from our local disused canal. Usually a trickle not this massive fall. 

Rest of the banking is overtopped and flowing into the River Dearne which flooded the next valley along last year.

......and i told you don‘t flush the Toilet..😎

Raining even more here tonight. Flood warnings for our area so we are hoping things don't get as bad as 2007 when we had the worst floods we've seen in many years.

Sheffield City Centre flooded when water coming off the Derbyshire peaks overwhelmed the rivers.

Still not as bad as the great Sheffield flood of 1864 when a new reservoir dam broke and released 700,000,000 gallons of water straight into the city. 

To put that into context, if you built a tank round St Paul's cathedral deep enough to contain that water,  the cross on top of the dome would still be 50 feet under water! Now that's a lot.

Finally stopped raining and the lane clear again.

 

Unfortunately many areas in the county and country have not fared so well. Burst river banks and homes flooded.

Maybe time to think about an Amphi Car...

[Mickwhitt 4,593]

Or a small boat lol. If our canal system had not been filled in we could be sailing all over the shop.

Few back roads flooded here but not shocking. Windy and cold for now but set to be a bit calmer to the weekend.

Saw a writeup and aerial images of the River Don flooding near you in a BBC article. Lotsa water!
