Hot weather (highs 72-79F) caused snow-fed creeks to rise dramatically this week. Virtually no change in water level from May 27 to June 2, then rapid rise as hot weather began June 2. Photos of the Matanuska River at Glenn Highway MP 71. Also a hydrograph of water levels on Moose Creek (Sutton) showing discharge flow in early June this year and the median for this time period as well as water temperature. However, the warm weather still hasn't thawed very deep into the ground - maybe a foot or two of the upper layer. My water line is still frozen.
