Mother Nature Is On Strike

This winter Russia had record amount of snow. Now it is spring and snow started to melt..Water does not have many choices on where to go. My parents are very lucky so far not to have their house flooded althought Volga river came up about 50 meters from them. There are many pictures on the webiste where you can see the damaged caused by this flooding. I remember ours here, in September 2011. However, at least it was warm here. There, water is still frozen.

They compare this flood to similar one in 1955. Almost 60 years ago! How crazy!

It is certainly not all but still shows how much.
 People's gardens are under water
 What used to be a line of a beach sand. Umbrella and changing area (white) are all almost under water
 A road

 How muddy the water is!
 A lof ot ice!
 A bad timing to want to have a boat ride
 Looks cold and ugly
