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?
Because many North Dakota rivers and lakes are frozen during the winter, the discharges computed from the stage-discharge relation (see Question 2) are meaningless. Therefore, discharges are not shown on our web site during the ice-affected period because the discharges are not correct and would be misleading. After the ice goes out in the spring, current discharge is again shown for these rivers and lakes.
