If You're a North Landing River Gauge Watcher...

You probably have noticed that the gauge seems to have been stuck since Saturday, April 7. Well, actually it isn't stuck, but that's what most folks are saying about it. The truth of the matter, however, lies buried in a little notice at the top of the online page, which reads as follows:

"NOTICE: There is a service interruption for a number of stream gauges nationwide, due to the Global Positioning System (GPS) Rollover that occurred on April 6, at 23:59 GMT. The National Weather Service is working with federal, state and local partners to ensure those affected gauges obtain the necessary updates to resume data transmission. We apologize for the service interruption and hope to have the data restored as soon as possible."


UPDATE: As of 1155 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, I happened to notice this gauge once again is working. Don't know if it will last, but at least for the moment, it's up and functioning.
