What this means
The Snare River below Ghost River is running below normal at 26.27 m.
That puts it 0.23 m below the median of 26.50 m for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 26.46 m (−0.19 m).
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 26.27 m and 26.34 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
