Yes, most local ponds, pits, and lakes are down from normal levels, but saving factor from possible winter kill will be lack of snow cover--sunlight and air (oxygen exchange from air through ice) getting through ice helps and also allows oxygen content to be higher than if we had a lot of snow cover on top of low water levels. And with warmer temps, shorelines will start opening up--again allowing oxygen exchange between air and water to increase. Doesn't look like any significant precip of any kind in near future either for this part of country!
