The Kuskokwim River above Chuathbaluk is pretty much ice free but there is ice piled along both sides of the River making it difficult to land a boat anywhere for miles and miles. Also there is no wood coming down.
There has been little change in the River at Chuathbaluk, Aniak, and both Kalskags over the past two days – except for slowly rising water. The ice at Chuathbaluk moved for a short time on Friday but then jammed in the Owhat River area a few miles below the village.
Aniak area ice appears to be rotting in place. Kalskag this morning reports that water has risen high enough that there is no more beach left.
That’s the report for the morning of May 3rd.
Ice is piled on the beaches for miles and miles above Chuathbaluk
