Lily Cache Creek

Creek level low
pH meter read 4.6 but that cannot be correct; need to re-calibrate once I receive buffer solutions
Depth 0.14 m

depth 16 cm (0.16 m)

The creek was mostly frozen oven with ice except in the middle. I stupidly stepped down from the bank, fell, then slid on my butt to get to open water, sampling while sitting in ice cold water. Then I scooted back. Next time--just skipping it if it is like this.

Only measurable snow was 12-22-22; this is the last use of road salt. A pair of mallards were observed in study area. No ice.

Depth 43 cm; creek full, fast velocity. Lots of rain over the last 10-14 days. Creek had flooded big time. Receded over last few days.

Some ice along bank. Good velocity; downstream logjam broke up enough to allow water to freely flow through it--first time in at least 5 years. Depth 21.6 cm.

Depth 30 cm; creek wide and full.

Depth 17.78 cm at north shoreline; north shoreline was the only place with open water.

Depth 16 cm.

depth 21 cm
