Notes
The snow is deep and can sink easily because of the melt. Be careful not to twist a leg or knee when the snow is this soft. Park/recreation and Storm Water are also pollution sources in the immediate surroundings. Odour: Decomposing/Rotting.
The water was not as high as it has been on warmer days when the freshet has melted. There was much plastic moving downstream. The chloride strips activate quickly in higher temperatures of plus 5 and above.
