As far as you could go on the foot path.

Too deep to use the road even in a high sided vehicles

The Ouse looks more like a lake.

Looks like more rain to come, I am sick of it & we have not had a flooding issues (yet).

Most be awful for those people who have been flooded.

The river has already peaked at just under 4.5m above normal, but northing close to the floods of 2000 when the Ouse reached 5.4 meters above summer levels.

HUGE traffic jams built up on the A64 near York after a major route into the city was blocked by flooding today.

Traffic

B1222 Market Place (Cawood bridge) closed due to flooding at B1223 Rythergate.

A19 Fulford Road both ways closed due to flooding between St Oswald's Road and B1222 Naburn Lane. Approach with care. The flooding is also affecting the surrounding area. York City Council have said that the road is likely to remain closed for the rest of the day.

Its not unusual for the river to burst to this level at least once a year. The 2000 level caused far more problems.
