I live in Galena, IL. We are on the Galena River about 1 1/2 miles from
the Mississippi R. The Galena R. is not frozen now. It never has been
solidly frozen. About the time, it was freezing over it would warm up
again. The last time I went to Dubuque, IA the Mississippi wasn't frozen
either. The husband of our secretary, and father of a student in the
gifted program I teach, is a tow boat captain. I was talking to him and he
said that the expectation is that there will not be flooding this spring
because of the winter conditions.
