During the winter when streams are ice-covered, the stream discharge for my river is not shown on the real-time streamflow page. Why not?
A. Many of our rivers in Wisconsin are frozen and affected by ice during the winter. Thus, the discharges computed from the stage/discharge relation (see Question 2) are meaningless. Therefore it is now our policy not to show the discharges on our web site over the ice-affected period because the discharges are not correct and would be misleading. These stations are identified by [ice] in the flow column in the current conditions table. After the ice goes out in the spring, these streams will again be showing current discharge.
