We did not do field titrations for alkalinity because, at -7°C, the water samples kept freezing. — Sampling and conducting field measurements in the Hans Grootkill, Union College campus, after a late February snowfall, 2003.

Writing down data. Each person took data from three pH meters, for example. We wore rubber gloves to keep our hands from freezing. — Sampling and conducting field measurements in the Hans Grootkill, Union College campus, after a late February snowfall, 2003.
