More than 4 worms per sidewalk segment for at least 4 segments. >90% of three miles of sidewalk directly observed today were without worms.

10/11/2017 5:00 AM M M M M M Thundershower yesterday afternoon.
10/12/2017 4:30 AM M M M M M Flash flood rain started at 6:30 PM and was preceded by increasing loud thunder. After 30 minutes of rain, water more than 5 inches deep was observed in a parking lot spiraling down in vortex through a parking lot storm drain as cars were having difficulty moving through. The rain water in the road measured 4.5 inches deep at 7 PM. At that time creek waters were observed to have risen from stagnant shallow to quickly flowing but remained within their respective bank boundaries at 7 PM. (I've never been at that location {Bethany Village shopping mall} during a flash flood before so am uncertain if this is unusual for that location, 1/2 mile from my usual rain gauge observation location),
10/13/2017 4:00 AM M M M M M Daylight observations yesterday show the creek obviously flooded Wednesday night but little standing water remains and the water was within the banks again yesterday. Redistribution of sediment, leaves, pine straw and bent over shore grasses/shrubbery indicate unusual flooding recently occurred. Some drain grates were 100% obstructed by the leaves and debris following the recent rains.
10/23/2017 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No signs of precipitation. A lot of crickets chirping. Dew on ground.
10/24/2017 3:30 PM M M M M M Typical signs of over wash of greenway trail observed today from recent rains in last 24 hours. Fresh gravel and rocks have recently been strategically placed at the areas of frequent over wash along the park trail.
10/26/2017 3:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Found a small lightweight opaque tan colored snail shell with 5 whorls on a curb a few feet from the creek bank.
10/29/2017 8:30 AM M M M M M Significant overnight rain led to small puddles, increased creek velocity, change in creek turbidity/color, and depth of creek water. Patterns of small lightweight terrestrial debris/leaves remaining from the Saturday seasonal festival in the park indicate that no over-wash occurred as a result of the rain.
11/6/2017 4:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 There was some light mist yesterday morning.
11/7/2017 9:00 PM T M M M M Small amount of rain in past 24 hours. Now no stars are visible but the tall lighted towers two miles away are clearly visibly blinking. Wind is picking up and it is cooler.
11/11/2017 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No new precipitation observed. Creek is flowing. Shallow water puddle remnants are not frozen. No frost observed.
11/13/2017 3:00 PM M 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rained some overnight and into the morning. Standing water remained in poor drainage areas along the creek this afternoon. One puddle measured two inches deep this afternoon. The creek, however, does not appear flooded now, or approaching flooding, or recently flooded.

11/22/2017 5:30 AM M M M M M Different episodes of mist, drizzle overnight. The most recent light drizzle began at 5:12 AM.
12/4/2017 4:00 PM M M M M M At that time, fallen leaves were floating on the creek surface. Many leaves floated motionless as the waters slowly trickled beneath the surface. The creek water appeared slightly darker in some areas, perhaps due to decomposition of the fallen leaves.
12/5/2017 7:00 PM M M M M M The water level at the nearest automobile bridge on SR 1613 was very low at obs time. note: while slowly riding bicycle along SR 1613 from a couple miles away, I could feel a sharp temperature gradient while approaching the bridge. The air in the valley of the creek at the bridge was much cooler, even though the water level was quite low (a few inches deep with bottom visible.)
12/7/2017 5:00 AM M 0.0 M 0.0 M Light rain and sleet at different times through the past 24 hours. Sleet started at 6:45 PM. (at 6 AM yesterday fog reduced visibility such that lights two miles away were clear but 5 miles away not seen).At obs time today, paved thoroughfares are for the most part dry: some moisture remains in this parking lot and along certain curbs)
12/8/2017 4:45 AM M 0.0 M 0.0 M Very light drizzle at observation time:: flood note: yesterday afternoon at the fork in the creek,the waters flowing from Hatches Pond direction were unusually more turbulent and flowing quicker than creek waters coming from the Carpenter Lake direction. All creek waters observed were well below flood stage during the afternoon observations.
12/9/2017 9:45 AM M 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Precipitation has been falling for most of the last 24 hours. Standing water measured 3 to 4 inches deep in many puddles along fields and creek bank area. One small patch of remaining slush was seen in a small rotten recess of a wooden footbridge, otherwise no ice/snow/slush was observed on the road or waters.

The bottom of the creek was visible at observation time, but not visible earlier this afternoon due to higher more murkier waters.
