Freeze-up came at the end of November in Catfish Creek Watershed, bringing a close to the 2013 field season. Water and weather monitoring instruments not designed for extreme low temperatures or in danger of being drifted over by snow were removed from the watershed through the month of November. In total, 26 perched water table level loggers, 13 in-stream water level loggers, 2 automated water samplers and 1 weather station will get to spend the winter months in the warmth of the University of Manitoba lab; awaiting early spring re-deployment.
