Chloride level was much higher than maximum of test strips. Sample taken below bridge where creek was not frozen.
Due to ice on creek I was forced to collect from under the bridge. Water was very shallow over concrete floor under bridge.
very thin ice along shore, none in the middle of stream. Snow just starting while collecting water sample.
Collection taken day after first snowstorm of the season.
Another beautiful day!
This measurement includes a second measurement for quality check. Both measurements were identical. Weather has been warmer and drier than normal for past few weeks. No snow since mid January
Opening in ice next to bridge.
Slow moving stream at time of collection.
