Yeah...little wet...
oh and its raining there now to boot
Oh damn, that bridge moved kinda far!Mercer is a mess right now. Water levels yesterday were very high. Nothing to the east and north of the tennis center should be ridden for a bit. I went thru one puddle and turned around at all others and came out dry and not muddy - a scouting ride. Give this place some time. We will be needing to fix a bunch of ruts and do some bridge repair.

Feel good post of the day bro. However, assunpink—>delaware—>oceanYou should have see the dam at assumpink which is the upstream source of this water.
Mercer isn’t seaward bound so it will always be subjected to excessive flooding.
Now with more building in my home town there will be added run off. More property up for sale so expect more run off.
Not sure what feel good post of the day is implying but in fishing terms seaward water is water that dumps directly to the ocean not thru other channels of water. That was my understanding for a long time.Feel good post of the day bro. However, assunpink—>delaware—>ocean
We are beyond my water terms knowledge.Not sure what feel good post of the day is implying but in fishing terms seaward water is water that dumps directly to the ocean not thru other channels of water. That was my understanding for a long time.
However you have me asking myself if the opposite of my story is true. Not sure.
Amendment - if this dumps to the canal then simply replace the Delaware with Raritan in your equation

While I am not 30 years Mercer user, the flooding this year is more than what I have seen in my 20 years out here. Something is getting jammed up somewhere.
That was in April, jackassMaybe almost twice the average rainfall for May has something to do with it?

Well we had a 100 year and a 500 year storm in there between sandy and Irene, sooooo.I was commenting on the "historic" flooding you described. Will have to check on april 2018 rainfall vs ave as well.
