Marching streams

After a week of record high temperatures locally (I think Sunday was 46F) followed by snow mixed with freezing everything and then followed by temperatures down to 13F, we have streams running higher than average with lots of ice.
Here is the beaver bog creek near the bog outlet. Second is a shot of the stream after it crosses the road; the moss-covered stones are a regular photographic subject. In August, you would not see any water at all around these stones.
Finally, the culvert under our road. When we have a peak flood, usually in the Spring with snow melt and rainfall, the water level gets to the road level above the culvert. Since this culvert was repaired and strengthened about ten years ago, we have not had water that high. Typical peak will be above the culvert, however.
