The ice and wood are once again waning.  Will it last?  Who knows?  Well, maybe upriver folks do.

There’s been a decent amount of wood passing yesterday and today, and the ice is diminishing as you can see from the photo.

I did have three visitors from Chuathbaluk last evening (Eric Morgan Jr., Jacob Wise and Nick Sakar). They were successful at catching numerous ducks.

The water level has dropped a few inches and only scattered ice and wood are passing by.  The ice is mostly small with some pans about 10 to 15 feet long.

There is a little more ice flowing past Napaimute since this morning, with a few pans about 30 feet long.  The water level remains the same.

The water level hasn’t changed much in the last 24 hours but just in the last 20 minutes a little more ice and wood is coming by on the north side.  The temperature is around 35 degrees with a good breeze coming from the west.

The water level has dropped about 5 feet and there is only small broken chunks of ice now passing.  It appears that most everything has passed by, although I just got word that there is still some ice up near Devil’s Elbow.

The water is still on the rise – about 4 feet in as many hours.  Where it was just ice floating by bank to bank is now mixed with an even amount of water.
