The recent rains meant more water as shown in this small creek at Veterans Memorial Park on Riverside Drive in Edgewater.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Good riddance to those wind-chill days and nights. Good riddance to the rare sleet, otherwise known as freezing rain.
It's warming up again with weekend temperatures topping out at about 70 degrees. We'll take it.
