Gauge Description:

The physical gauge, once on the bridge in Taberg, is no more. The USGS gauge is what we have (and it's a big improvement).

Minimum: 4 feet (class 3-, very bony--but still with some play)
Medium: 5 feet (class 3+)
High: 6 feet (class 4)

The gauge is still new, and we don't have a lot of data on the upper ends of the scale.

You can help!

If you get a visual take on the bridge gauge, simply add a comment to this page! Click on the "Comments" tab and then click "Add a Comment" at the bottom of the page. Post your numbers, and we'll use it to firm up the correlation.

Thanks, all. This might have been the most important "wish we had an online gauge" stream in the Northeast--until recently.
