Grey day. Rain earlier to drizzle now possibly changing to snow flurries later. Lots of geese in the area and several hawks.
Thin coat of ice over much of stream but not all. Very cold - sample started to register quickly then took a long time to register to the top as I suspect the tube got cold. I held it in my gloves hand to warm it enough to complete. Sample was cloudier with sediment than I remembered from last year.
Sunny day. Water slightly cloudy
Windy and gray but still hear chorus frogs and red winged blackbirds, robins and golden-crowned kinglets
Nelson lake entirely iced over but stream clear of ice and free flowing - over it’s banks in part
Test strip registered less than 1.0 quantab unit and retest measured just over 1.0 quantab units so both below the 1.4 minimum on Quantab scale.
