Notes

This lake is still nearly entirely frozen, but there was some free water around the edges. The Cl test result was very low, perhaps because of this. I had to estimate the ppm because the units were too low for the card. I had an almost entirely frozen situation one time last year, and it also had quite low Cl, although not as low as this time. The consistent no-ice reading has been about 4 units, and this time it was about .8 units. The previous icy time it was 2 units.
