Guess the max lake level

[Lakegeezer]

OK weather prognosticators. Guess what will the maximum lake level be this year? It was 504.40 at 3PM on Tuesday, April 29'th as reported here (http://www.des.state.nh.us/rti_data/wein3_TABLE.HTML). Where will it peak this Spring? Will we hit another 100 year high?

My guess is 505.2

My guess is 505.33. No forecasting involved...just a guess.

505.26

Just a guess.

504.90
Nothing but a guess based on the amount of unmelted snow up north (not much anymore) and the fact that the dam operators have been a step ahead of the lake levels so far this spring.

I'll guess 505.00.

It depends on whether or not this weekend provides the dam operators a chance to get it back under full, and then what kind of storms we get in May. If we get a wet weekend followed by a return to March's storms, I'd go for near-record lake level. If this weekend is mostly dry followed by a return to April's "Smokey the Bear" days, then the lake is at its max right now. My guess is somewhere between those two outcomes.
