7 PM Wed. River Watch: The general flood watch for the Capital Region was called off by this morning, Wednesday, January 24. But, the Mohawk did not perform as expected overnight, and continued rising all day rather than falling. As of the time I am posting this piece, the Mohawk at the Stockade is .3 of a foot from the 220′ flood level. The National Weather Service and our County Emergency Management officials apparently have no current plans to announce a flood alert or the need for emergency measures. Naturally, I hope they are correct.
And, even more naturally, I took advantage of the beauty and power of the River view to takes some photos, and put them in a Slideshow.
