usually.
last spring we got 2' of wet snow followed immediately by a 20+ degree warm up and 3"s of rain dumped in about 3 hours.
almost could deal with that but it all fell on the snow that was already on the ground.
it turned into a huge mess and several citizens had instant indoor swimming pools and wading ponds in their basements.
those that didn't have that problem had the underground aquifer over fill and push water up through their basement floors.
even the ones with no basements and just crawl spaces had water issues killing their heaters and such.
