The creek was very full. I could not enter the creek due to the ice shelf along the shore, under the water (too slippery). So I could not get depth. The chloride levels were beyond the maximum of the scale. Due to the icy conditions and snow on roads, heavy salting had occurred.
Depth was 0.15 m.
Depth 0.16 m. Creek pretty full. Some ice along edges and on boulders.
Depth 0.23 m; creek was full, swift velocity
pH meter read 4.0 but no way--needs calibration
Creek water levels low
lots of algal growth
Depth 0.11 m
depth 16 cm (0.16 m)
Mostly ice covered except along shorelines where water velocity kept ice from forming.
