Bloom Description
Community member reported: Particles are dispersed everywhere, with some streaks. The density of particles varies. There are particles and some streaks in both calm and ripple/ wavy areas. Yesterday was a very windy day; today is mostly calm. It has been mostly cloudy yesterday and today, with a high of 80. There was a small patch of solid green by one dock. I traversed the entire cove along the periphery and zigzagging across the middle, and out into the main lake about 1/3 of the way across. The particles are everywhere; I could not find any clear water, whether close in or very far from shore.
