While Winnipesaukee & Winnisquam have risen about 20", Silver Lake (just downstream from Winnisquam) is up 74" in 10 days. I'm guesing that the TV station just announced the wrong dam. The flow at the Lakeport dam has been cut back from 2000 Cubic Feet per Second (CFS) to about 700 CFS. This is probably to reduce levels downstream. The flow at the Tilton dam (below Silver lake) is now over 4000 CFS, about 5 times normal.
