Mark Leary says nothing new going on in Napaimute since the ice stopped moving last night (after it only moved for 5 minutes).
The water level in Aniak dropped about 6 inches since yesterday, and the ice is still holding its own.
Today – and any day after today – would be a new record for the ice to go out in Aniak according to NOAA records.
Here’s what the river in Aniak looked like as of 7:00 am this morning:
Looking upstream toward the Russian Mountains.
Looking up towards the slough and FAA Landing.
You can see from the mudflat that the water level has dropped some.
