A disappointing end to the sampling season thanks to a big rainstorm Wednesday that dropped more than an inch of rain in Central Park. Then again, considering everything else that's gone down in 2020, it's amazing we were able to pull anything together all. Study the tableau below for all of the reasons that happened--and a big shoutout to all who dipped, biked, processed, uploaded, donated, or otherwise lent support in this craziest of years!
Click here for our all-sites spreadsheet or check our map interface for season-long results at individual sites (blue icons indicate active sites; sampling at sites marked in yellow is suspended for this season). In a week or so we'll send out a last email summarizing our findings for the year, then leave you alone till next spring!
