The high hovers around 70 where I live. The nights are pretty cold though, the last two weeks it's dipped into the 30s atleast 5 times.

Quote from: Elizabeth

Are there dams making the water so low, Ascent?

Hi Elizabeth, that's a good question. I have not heard dams currently causing low river levels here but that might be the case. I do know this area has not had much rain in a long time, except for Thursday. Also, I just learned the Mark Twain National Forest had a wild fire earlier, but to my disappointment, the source did not specify the location nor the severity. The MTNF is fairly vast in the southern part of Missouri. The severity must be of some concern because they called in a special firefighting unit from one of the Carolina states. Anyway, as far as the river goes, I will be able to view it again Friday because I ride my bike by there a lot. My friend will be there, too, so I'll ask him if he has heard anything about the dams having an effect on the river level.

Freak weather? Lemme recap the Oklahoma year of 2011 for ya:

--early year blizzards that broke records

--this Spring, Joplin was destroyed by a giant tornado

--heat waves that broke records (I think it was Tulsa's hottest year in history)

--drought, drought, drought

--an Indian Summer (aka, hot/mild fall)

--a 5.6 earthquake hit yesterday--biggest in Oklahoma history
