omaha lakes update: walnut creek, wehrspann

[coldfront]

okay, could just not stand it any more today...so took a driving lunch.

Walnut creek:  about 3 feet higher than normal 'full' pool.  Upper end above the island is absolutely chocolate milk.

Water at the ramp is stained..but possibly a foot or so visibility...this again was at noon today.  I'm sure the stain will spread some...

Wehrspann:  drove by the silt dam on the south end...water is still shooting in from the culvert...chocolate milk.  Didn't run anywhere around the main lake...but given the 'neck down' at the pedestrian bridge, I'm guessing there is some 'better' water to be had...

Zorinsky:  drove over the 168th street bridge on the way in to work this morning...water may well have touched the bottom of the bridge last night...only about 2 feet clearance this morning at 7AM...west part is chocolate milk...water levels up over the walking trail..

East part, guessing there might be some stained water up by the dam...but that's only a guess...
