The ice has that bluish-gray "death of ice" look to it, though I imagine it is still at least 20 inches thick. This is a semi-panoramic view of the current state of affairs. The water level is up 3 inches in two days and there is water on the top of the ice especially on the east side of the pond. Barge area looking south Barge area looking east Barge area looking west My arm was in the 35 degree water up to the arm pit to pull up the under water lights. They need to be out of the water because the dock and barge will be rising considerably with all the snow melt still to come. There is no sense in tearing up the under water wiring. How high will the water rise on the water level tube? Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Water will rise 4 5/16" total. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away.

There were a couple flaws in your formula, though you were very close. Rate of increase = rate$((ice melt+added moisture+river hydrostatic pressure+ground water inflow)-evaporation rate) ∞unknown influences Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Tom My Rock River control credential has lapsed so no help with volume control. I can tell you that there is still plenty of melting to go. I just checked the level tube and it is now at 20.5 inches. Up 2 inches in 6 hours. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

The water remains clear as glass. Since it is entering the pond via hydrostatic pressure from below it gets filtered through sand and gravel as it enters. Depth tube reading this morning, Monday 26 inches. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

As long as Darlene is happy, the stick abides. Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.
