Last year was one of the hottest and driest summers that I can recollect. I went around and took some readings of my favorite local streams just out of curiosity. I plan to do the same this year given that we are currently, at least in Mifflin County, experiencing highs in the 90's with overnight lows in the 70's. I was hoping others would be willing to take some temps and post them here to see the differences between this year and last. I am not so interested in "true" limestoners (think Big Spring, Letort, etc) as we know that they will be cold. I am more interested in limestone influenced streams and freestoners. If anyone would like to post temps of streams and list what kind of stream that they would classify them as I would appreciate it. I will try my best to do the same for my local streams in the next few days before the heat breaks. I am thinking the ample rainfall and slightly cooler temps will have them much more reasonable this summer than last but we will see. Either way I hope people would like to participate.
