View all photosOvercast with some sun peeling through and calm winds. No rain in past 24 hours, but since we’ve had 108 Mm rain since Oct 22nd there is finally water flowing over the dam and the river is flowing once again so we can test at this location. No wildlife around today other than the usual geese on the millpond.
No water in the river below the dam where we would be testing.
Lack of rainfall this spring and summer leaves this location dried up to the point now where not enough water in the river to test.
Sunny skies with just a few clouds and mild winds. Lots of mosquitoes and black flies here today. Very low water levels where we test and not much coming over the dam from the millpond.
No rain in past 24 hours. Sunny with hazy skies rolling in now. Less water in the river now. Some brown scum caught in the rocks....although I took readings there afterwards and not any significant difference.
No rain in past 24 hours. Overcast and windy now with rainclouds appearing. No signs of wildlife here but lots of geese have been heard and seen overhead all day in this area.
Although the Millpond is still frozen over, the river below the dam is flowing freely and no ice showing anymore.
Partly cloudy and windy. 5 MM rain last night that came all at once. Hadn’t been able to test here most of the summer due to no water in the river at all but finally in past week it’s beginning to flow over the dam . Lots of Canada Geese in the Millpond above the dam.
Unable to perform any tests due to there being no water in the river .
Hazy, hot & humid day. No rain for weeks and the evidence shows in this stream which has barely any water in it now. Large family of ducks and ducklings scurried away into the bushes when I came along. Lots of mosquitoes here. Kids jumping off the bridge on other side of the road into the deep side of the millpond....a longstanding summer tradition here in Milford.
