Ouse in Flood

The Ouse floods regularly when there is a lot of rain in the hills to the west and north of us.  Right now, it's flooding because the snow has melted and the ground has unfrozen in the near Dales.  York residents are blase about it, citing REAL floods from the past that they've witnessed, but to those of us who have limited Ouse experience, the river suddenly going up by eight to ten feet is exciting to watch.  The King's Arms pub, shown below, is a popular place to have a pint sitting outside on the riverfront.

The King's Arms Pub, King's Staith, closed for the day.
