Delaware River Report / Conditions October 28, 2011

Apologies on the late post this morning – David and I stayed up watching the (CHOKE) Rangers (CHOKE) lose (thanks Darren Oliver) game 6 (CHOKE) of the World Series last night, and are having a bit of a slow start today!

As for the rivers – flows came up a bit today, mostly as a result of the rain (not snow) that we received throughout the day and into the night last night. They are still running clear, as the increase was minimal – our question today becomes whether or not this impeding Nor’easter will strike us tomorrow – the only reason I hope for it to do so is that we have plenty of ticks in our woods that need killing! Otherwise, sunny today, highs just under 50 – so it will be chilly, but the water should heat up early, and we will hopefully have some hatching as a result!
