Water Temps on USGS

Anyone know why there is no more water temp info available on the gauges?
(http://waterdata.usgs.gov/pa/nwis/uv/?site_no=04213152&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,00010)
Last available date is 08/05
Is there another place you can find this info or can someone share it that has been measuring?
Thanks

    nothing but gauge height and discharge seem to be working.  I like to know the temp and turbidity also.

    I always thought after a certain time of the year they stopped doing the temps ( i could be wrong )

    They do stop the temps late in the winter when the creeks freeze over, but they should be available now. The temps are a big tell for early season and I note them for each of my trips to see how they align with fish activity.

    Anoneemus - thank you, your link is helpful. Is there a way to see 2014 data on there? I can go back prior to that, but 2014 seems to be skipped.

    They don't have any temperature data November-April. Also, they used to have turbidity data, which was another useful number that many overlooked. Im guessin somethins broken and it's a money issue.

    Forgot about the turbidity. Money issues make sense... Maybe the ice damaged the equipment. The last 2 years were brutal after all.

    I do remember hearing ice causing problems for both readings so they remove them if your on walnut and looking near the flow gauge the the setup does look vulnerable to ice jams, debris, etc. Also if you look at the chart is says available 6-25 to 8-?? So im assuming its only for those two months.. i could be reading it wrong though.
