A flood is caused by a combination of heavy rainfall. causing river / oceans to over flow their banks, and can. happen at any time of the year, not just in the winter. Floods generally develop over a period of. days, when there is too much rainwater to fit. in the rivers and water spreads over the land.
The formation of ice jams depends on both the weather and the physical conditions in the river channel. Flooding due to ice jams (or other ice conditions) can occur at different times and in different ways. Figure 2-3 illustrates areas where ice jams are most likely to occur.
