Station Notes
rainfall Precipitation gage replaced, March 18, 2009. (Message posted March 18, 2009.)
rainfall The 15-minute precipitation data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 60 days. Time series of 15-minute or cumulative daily values will NOT be available for retrieval following the 60-day display period. Although the instrumentation is calibrated at least once/year, the temporary classification means that documented routine inspections and other quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
ice This station is affected by ice during extreme cold weather periods. A description of the types of ice affecting rivers can be download here.
