#DYK that our Hydrologic Technicians need to drill holes through ice to measure our rivers in Colorado? Tony was out this week making calibration measurement on the Williams Fork in some icy conditions! #FieldPhotoFriday

Yes, I would like to try using the giant ice saw! #fieldphotoFriday Video by Laura Brown

This #FieldPhotoFriday comes from Taylor Pass Meteorological Station in #Colorado . This Next Generation Water Observing System station tests #snow water equivalent and snow depth equipment at a high elevation to understand above tree line snow conditions. ow.ly/uAYy50Qx0hJ
