History
What this means
The Cobbosseecontee Stream at Gardiner, Maine is running far below normal at 2.03 ft.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 2.01 ft and 2.08 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
