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.
