With temperatures hovering near freezing in some locations, pockets of freezing rain will be possible across portions of the greater Capital Region, Taconics and mid Hudson Valley of eastern New York, and southern Litchfield County in northwest Connecticut through 9 AM this morning. Motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution if driving or walking through 9 AM this morning, as some untreated ground surfaces may remain icy and slippery, especially less traveled roadways, highway on and off ramps, driveways and parking lots.
Summary
The ideal streamflow range for this section of the river is between 200-400 cubic feet per second (cfs), which typically occurs in the spring and early summer months. The class rating for this section of the river ranges from II to III, with several rapids and obstacles along the way.
The segment mileage for the Whitewater River Run is approximately 5 miles, beginning downstream of the Borough of Bantam at the Stoddard Road Bridge and ending at the confluence with the Shepaug River.
