Mild weather Sunday through Monday resulted in a good deal of snowmelt with runoff into area rivers. Ice jams also formed especially on the Great Chazy River in and around Perry Mills and Champlain. In addition, a cold front stalled across New England Monday, with an area of low pressure moving along the front with steady rain. The river gage at Perry Mills was around 3 feet above flood stage. Extensive flooding was reported in the village of Champlain with water in houses and over roads. Route
