OWD Flooding?

[BillTIZ]

I see a lot of rain in New England again.. the daughter in Quincy is reporting water in the basement.

Is OWD flooded again?

Good morning all--

Unfortunately, I was forced to close the Norwood Airport last night to all fixed-wing aircraft. Both runways are once again impacted by flood waters from the Neponset River. All of our taxiways are similarly flooded. While the flood plain waters continue to rise, a rough estimate for re-opening is eight days hence. Of course, this is predicated on a little help from Mother Nature, who, it could be argued, has not been kind to OWD in the month of March. Thanks.

Russ
