Hardly an inconvenience compared to what is happening elsewhere.

Record flooding in Lodi, dozens of highways closed by high water, people evacuated in Fond du Lac.  (Wisconsin State Journal, 3/14/2019)

The rapid snow melt has become too much to handle for many southern Wisconsin rivers and streams, with flooding reported on dozens of highways, people being evacuated in Fond du Lac and at least one record breaking water level in Columbia County.

Friday, December 7.  With the boardwalk along the eastern edge of Tiedeman Pond structurally unsafe, this walking path leading to it is closed.

Saturday, November 11.  (Although the water has receded, you can get only so far along this path.) 

Wednesday, October 31.  Walking path still impassable.
