Here it comes...

Last year, the lake level got to 103% - it came up fast. This year, when discussing the low levels, I frequently heard, "This lake can rise a foot a day with this kind of runoff..."

I had my doubts. The Hydromet data showed that we are up .9' in the past 24 hours - close enough. Two days with warmer temps, and then the precip, and the runoff has begun in earnest. It's clear that we are going to see higher water flow before this is over.

Joan and I are scheduled to have the next two days off (our weekend); Mother Nature is supposed to rain on us, but the sun is out this morning. I'll have to drive by the marina to see what the water looks like before we head out for the day.
