Total reporting dropped but not as fast as the thermometer did. A few new items in December. From the website, under “Maps”, scroll down some and find the Watershed Tool. The secret is out now as how your stations have been sorted by Watershed over this past year. The Android mobile app for reporting has been updated to allow edit on Daily Reports. That should complete one major task. Regardless how you enter a Daily Report, website or mobile app, you should have the ability to edit your reports. More on Snow Reporting. The amounts and percentages of snow reporting were strong this month. Along with the reporting came the mistakes that we are trying to minimize. Instead of looking at 6 airport sites for precipitation totals, we added 22 additional airports. Wait until you see the differences between your totals and these airports’ totals. Finish it up with a look where your snow reports appear. Let’s begin!

The river is the intersection of the City’s past and its fu- ture. The ideas presented on the following pages are in- tended to get the Fitchburg community thinking about the river and the many opportunities to integrate the river into the fabric of the City. This report is only a concep- tual master plan; the ideas presented here are intended to be refined - to change and evolve - as they are designed and implemented. Moving to design and implementation is as much a function of commitment by the citizens of the City as it is a function of market conditions, funding, and opportunities. This plan is for the people of Fitchburg to use to see their dreams for the North Nashua River come to fruition.

Supplementary Notes In cooperation with the U. S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration 16. Abstract This report provides estimates of flood discharges at selected recurrence intervals for streamgages in and adjacent to New Hampshire and equations for estimating flood discharges at recurrence intervals of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years for ungaged, unregulated, rural streams in New Hampshire. The equations were developed using generalized least-squares regression. Flood-frequency and drainage-basin characteristics from 117 streamgages were used in developing the equations. The drainage-basin characteristics used as explanatory variables in the regression equations include drainage area, mean April precipitation, percentage of wetland area, and main channel slope. The average standard error of prediction for estimating the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year recurrence interval flood discharges with these equations are 30.0, 30.8, 32.0, 34.2, 36.0, 38.1, and 43.4 percent, respectively.
