Looking at the charts, one item we, as a group, may not look at closely is the estimated inflow to the lake. When I last looked at it, the inflow was greater than the outflow, which means that the lake level should be rising.
Last summer the stream behind our house became totally dry, enabling me to stand in the stream bed to cut up a fallen tree for firewood. The estimated inflow at that time was below the outflow, which coupled with evaporation, means the lake level was dropping.
I would guess that our intrepid keepers of the dam system are walking a very thin line of recovering the proper lake level vs filling too much. Fingers crossed for their normal good job.
