I work 40 hours a week as a state certified electrician and spend my nights and weekends (Fri-Sun) working on advancing in REI. 

Go to the big box and buy a roll of the heaviest plastic they sell, it should be 6 mil or thicker. 

Family, Don Julio and his fine work, and deep fried turkeys. 5 day weekend hasn't hurt either.

They were resistant to every preventative measure, wouldn't even get bedbug mattress covers or clear plastic bags, mostly  just acted annoyed that I wanted to address it and take steps.

With the sun out, and it rising close to 40 degrees it's melting but not able to flow through the gutters.I have some sort of plastic / vinyl material for my soffit and it appears that water is leaking and traveling across the soffit until it hits the outside wall of the home.

In that case, locals will likely have much bigger fish to fry in the near term, like finding shelter and avoiding roving bands of looters. 

Also if the well casing is plastic that is also better.

And went to Gus' fried chicken in Detroit!
