We have been very lucky around here not to have had the problems of some down south. Up to now I haven't heard of any floodings around Chesterfield but the rivers must be high

It's times like these when I'm glad we live halfway up/down a hill - it's a pain in the arris when it snows as we can't get either up or down and the car is very often left snowbound on the drive for days on end - but at least any water simply goes past us before it gets to the brook at the bottom (of the road that is!)

There was another rock arch eroded away on that beach about twenty years ago so it's a not uncommon occurrence.
