First it was cold and 2 or more feet of snow has fallen down to 2000 or 2500 feet in elevation. Then this turns to rain which melts the snow so you then have double or more the amount of water moving including the snow that fell now turning into water. So, flooding is the logical outcome of water falling as both rain and snow and continuing throughout this area.
