    Default Madison update

    I have some inquiries about Madison,and I had contacted park management,but the report is not to good.

    River gauge was at 17.5 on 1/17, and dropped to 13.8 on 1/23,but on 1/24 it is rising and sits at 14.2. The dead give away is conductance- 1/22 to 23 it was 270,but now has dropped to 180-so river water is intruding in the basin.

    South Georgia got quite a bit of rain,so I would anticipate the Withlacoochee to go back up.

    We will keep you updated,but check the NFSA Facebook page for more information.

    Yes, light rime at about 12,000 feet.

    Hah, I did not yet use gloves this winter outside at 13-15000 AGL so if there is icing it should be on surface , I thought Madison is almost Georgia good candidate for that.
