问答题However mean your life is, meet it and live it；do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not as bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest.

Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding. 15 , flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen. Frozen ground or ground that is very wet and already saturated with water cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow. Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams. 16 of water, heavy rains will result in the rivers overflowing and flooding the surrounding land.
