Is that going to be followed by a sudden temperature raise?
Like my flood in Houston, it was non-stop raining in Houston for a day and wife and I took turns watching the water levels. About 11 she crawls in to bed and said we are ok, the rain has stopped. I got up and the water was abut a foot from flooding our house. I went back and told her you are sleeping tonight, were are going to start moving rugs and furniture. Within a few hours were flooded.
I went thru the Blizzard of 77, these are the type of number's were are talking about here. I had 4 days of school in February. The county will be in trouble most likely for days. In the blizzard of 77 they loaded empty railcars with snow just to get rid of it.
4 to 5 feet? Plenty of time to clear?
No way.
