Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About Winters Creek Blw US Alt 395 near Washoe City
Winters Creek - A lively river influenced by seasonal dynamics.
Winters Creek near Washoe City is a vital part of the Truckee watershed in Nevada. This river captures the fluctuating rhythms of the Great Basin's arid climate, with water levels heavily influenced by both mountain snowmelt in spring and intense summer thunderstorms. As a perennial river, Winters Creek serves as a key flow channel, not only transmitting water year-round but also reflecting the seasonal variances characteristic of its environment.
Why the data matters here
Current conditions from the US Geological Survey (USGS) provide crucial insight into the health and responsiveness of Winters Creek. By comparing today's water level to the median for this date over the last eight years, we can observe how it stands against historical patterns. This method helps gauge the impact of recent weather events and seasonal changes, presenting a clearer picture than raw elevation alone. Notably, today's measurements will reveal the creek's current flow status, offering valuable information for local water users and agencies alike.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
