I agree Dave. Jack Rabbits and Bison can co-exist.

Nice clarity spike. Friday looks like it is going to be nice on the long range forecast.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

That is called moving towards a graph axis during the full of the moon. Has that happened before on your charts?

Dwight- When you look back to last year, what was your water temps as compared to this year around the end of May?

Dwight- When you look back to last year, what was your water temps as compared to this year around the end of May? All the data is here for the past 4 years. All you need to do is go back in this thread to a similiar date in 2012 to find it. Sometime I may put all the graphed data in one place rather than spread throughout this long thread. The data alone doesn't always mean much without the discussion surrounding it.

We had a lot of overcast weather again this past week, some rain, and plenty of wind. Even with little in the way of sunshine, submergent plant life is full-on. Water temperatures are the same from top to bottom again this week. Pretty rare in these parts for this time of the year Updated Weekly

Dwight how hard would it be to do a year by year chart in diff colors ? Say all temps on one and each DO on separate charts.

Not difficult to do; finding the time is more difficult
My "to do" list continues to grow.

I understand. My list never slows down I just learn to defer better.

Eric, Dwight plans to give his long-term data set to Brian Graeb's pond management class this fall. One team will be assigned to use the data set to write a popular article for Pond Boss magazine. Their task will be to use this great, long-term data set to explain why the changes in temperature, oxygen, and transparency occur as they do. I'm really excited for this to happen -- Dwight has done a truly amazing job for consistency in his data collection, and documenting changes within years, and among years, will be great. I'm sure we all will learn from this!

Dave I have already learned a ton from this thread and Dwight's work. Can't wait for the results from Brian et al.

There have been references to "Dwight's work".
I can tell you that living by your pond, running your Barge out there or drilling a hole through the ice to do a little data collection is not work!
There is some challenge during those adversarial times when the open water fights the ice or the ice fights the open water. As you guys know, I enjoy a challenge!

Gail, Tan, and I took the Barge out do the readings yesterday, late afternoon. It was one of those perfect days with temps in the mid-seventies and the winds variable at 0-2 mph. The surface temperature failed the paw test so there was no swim for Tan or anyone else. Updated Weekly

Looks like a rapid rate of warming and a gentle decline in DOs.

I see no tale of the NP and sheared off titanium spinner bait a week after the graph axis during the full of the moon on this thread or any other.

I am posting up two weeks of updates today as I been have busy with storm issues and didn't get a chance to post the readings from last Saturday. I am also including a few pics of high water conditions. We have had over 8 inches of rain this month with over 5" of that last weekend. Pond levels are up 32 inches from two weeks ago. The chart has some dramatic changes for you to peruse. Updated Weekly Drainage ditch (normally empty) draining into the Rock River Barge area photos

The pond depth is down 6 inches from last week. The Rock river has dropped significantly and the pond follows at a slower pace. Updated Weekly
