Stream Gauge Reading

The Stream gauge read 5.6" in the brook this morning for those of you tracking.
The USFS Fire Danger Class is: Nonextant!
We have had a fair flow of hikers here today at both ends of the day.
The weather was unseasonably pleasant with a rare mix of clear AND warm.

Presently it is 4:58 p.m. and the conditions are:
49.6 degrees F and falling;
67% humidity and rising;
Barometric Pressure is 29.68" of mercury and steady;
Rainfall is nothing for today, and 0.04" yesterday.

We have once again had a problem with someone dumping on the Olean Street entrance to the Cascading Waters parcel. This time it was a blue trash can half full of leaves. Last time it was an empty 5 gal. container of driveway sealant. Very not cool.

As of Thursday we noted that Cook's Pond was decidedly lower than usual. After a few calls we were able to determine that this is apparently the annual draw down to control the shoreline weeds by freezing the soils. This was cleared through the Worcester Conservation Commission for the more bureaucratically minded among you.

And that is all from here at the Lodge!
