I'm curious how much rain the lake received over the weekend? We were up two weeks ago and the water line was down a bit from normal for this time of year.

THANKS :)

Spent the weekend on the boat, really wasn't effected by the rain. Would be surprised if we picked up anything significant to raise the lake level. Anyone know?

NH DES station at Weirs shows the lake level held essentially constant over the weekend, and only 1/2" of rain in the last week (Lakeport reported about 0.7"). Winnipesaukee lake level appears to be down about an inch from the level two weeks ago.

its seems they opened the dam up on Wednesday in anticipation because the channel definitely has a strong current

Not much in Alton Bay. Stream behind the house is barely audible and difficult to see water in the stream, except for a few spots. If we got a half inch, I would be surprised. Not much help with the drought conditions in southern / middle NH.
