An ice jam formed in the Little Salmon River in Fort Covington in January and remained in place through February. In late February the combination of record warmth, rainfall, and rapid snow melt caused significant rises on the little Salmon River which was already jammed from January. This caused flooding of the town of Fort Convington and evacuations were performed.
