    Never would have guessed those pics are from Alaska. Enjoy the thaw for now.

    I've dealt with that many times. I'm looking forward to spring, but not when the snowpack melts, which usually happens within two warm days with a healthy dose of rain on top of it.

    Any way of grading the area in the spring to let the water run out on its' own?

    That's messed up. Cold as a witches mammary here and the snow melted in Alaska.

    Yea,
    I have 3 12 yard truck loads & several re seedings, in the low spot over 30 years.
    Dynamic land, keeps changing.
    Cheaper & less work to pump :)

    Put some boards up, sharpen your hockey skates and wait for the next deep freeze. :)
