There have been some questions about the potential for an ice jam on the Housatonic River in Kent with the slight warm up and heavy rains.  The Kent Office of Emergency Management was in contact with their National Weather Service partners and they were not very concerned with the possibility for any type of repeat of 2018.  A State of Emergency was in place for 33 days that year.  A few homes were damaged due to the ice jam and the subsequent flooding, among other issues.
