I wanted to take a moment to compliment the dam operators on their management of the water levels for the past 12 months. Through a weird winter, early, heavy snow, warm weather then bitter cold, very thick ice, then a very wet Spring, they have managed the water levels and outflows very well.

While the lakes are on the high side right now, there's a lot of water out there and only so many places it can go.

Overall the dam management has been great. Dam good job!

Actually the lake is right where it is supposed to be level wise for this time of year, I agree, great job.

I agree that they are doing a dam fine job! :laugh: Wouldn't want to be in their shoes though. Guessing it is a tough and often thankless one where you just cannot keep everyone happy.

heres another chart of the lake level, I find it a bit easier to read, plus you get a better idea of the 20 year variation by min/max and standard deviation info.....

It's nice to see compliments for these guys for a change :) . Usually people a jumping all over them for too low of a level. It's gotta be a rough job trying to out guess Mother Nature :laugh:.
