What this means

The Ottauquechee River at North Hartland is running below normal at 2.20 ft.

It has dropped 0.37 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 1.67 ft and 3.44 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
