I noticed that my favorite Lake Winnipesaukee 'water level / depth' website (that had a graph of the entire season, prior year, historical, etc) has gone away. Anyone know if there's an alternative to use?

This was the old URL:
https://www.des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/dam/winni_levels/index.htm

I am disappointed that DES has changed the water level graphs. The new graphs are rather useless not providing historical perspective, annual rainfall totals to date, etc. Please return to the old graphics!

Agree. I liked the chart to see YTD and historical information. I hope they bring it back

I wrote to the state about this, and they actually replied -- full response below, but the updated link to the page is:

FULL EMAIL REPLY FROM NH:

Hello,

Thank you for completing the website satisfaction survey. I wanted to reach out to let you know that the information you were looking for is available in our new publication library. There are two ways to navigate to this information: it is available using an image link near the bottom of the Dam Safety, Maintenance and Management (https://www.des.nh.gov/water/dam-maintenance-and-management) page; or you can use the site-wide search and use the keywords “lake levels.” The historical Winni data is listed first by year.

Here is the direct link that you can find on the Dams webpage: https://www.des.nh.gov/resource-center/publications?keys=winnipesaukee+2020&purpose=Data+&subcategory=Dams. As the data is listed alphabetically by year, the older historical data shows up first but the current data is on the third sub-page.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Cheers,

Kathryn Michener

Thanks to the Xmas storm, the lake seems to have ended 2020 at average water level.

Yep, and here's the link for the 2021 Lake Level Chart

Thanks for the link, but I must admit, this was going to be one of those "your link doesn't work posts:".

I clicked on the link and didn't see any current data and was about to make that post, until I saw this liitttllee tiny solid black line way over to the left of the chart. Then I said to myself, "Self, it's a new year and the start of a year of new data. DUH!".:D

Except it's erroneously labeled as "2020 data" and the line is now red.

Yeah, I just emailed the woman at NH DES to have that updated to 2021.

Happy Saturday!

Is it spring yet? :-)
