Half a foot drop this morn down to 4.4. Hewlett Bridge gauge temp O.O.S. We had the coldest overnight air temp at Joe Wright Res in about a week at 30˚F, may account for the drop. Who knows.

Air temp at Joe Wright dipped just below freezing again last night, which could account for lack of rise. Had a bit of a brown out yesterday between 1500 and 1700.
