I'd give it a while before you start digging drains! Round here, the rivers are out of their banks, the water tables are very high from rain and snowmelt, and a lot of low-lying land is flooded that'll be fine in a normal summer and OK most winters. Where are you and what is your soil like (other than muddy and flooded?). You'll risk making matters worse if you get out and dig or walk on wet soil now (think poured concrete if it's clay or silt).
