Ice jams have forced roads to close and some residents to evacuate their homes in several Northeastern states after heavy snowfall.

This video taken by Rick Rivers in the town of Bethel, Vermont, shows a baseball field swamped by ice jams.

Warmer weather after the big freeze at the start of January has triggered flooding warnings across the Northeast US, with the states of Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts also affected, ABC News reported.

In the town of Swanton, about 100 miles north of Bethel, high water in the Missisquoi River forced some residents to evacuate their homes, according to local reports. Flooding also forced Vermont State Police to close certain roads across the state, it was reported. Credit: Facebook/Rick Rivers via Storyful
