It's still icy in many watersheds! Make sure you turn on our "Ice Watch" feature on our data platform to record "ice on"! Doing so helps to indicate larger climate patterns!

You can still fill data gaps even if it's too cold to test! Ice formation can be extremely telling of larger climate patterns, which is why we have an ‘ice watch’ feature on our data platform. Read up more about Ice Watch on our blog post:
