The last time the lake went to a NW condition, I do believe it was a combined decision of DES, and the Marine Patrol. I also remember that I was standing in about 6-8 inches of water on top of my dock. We haven't come close to that level. when that happened the lake was at least 1 ft. plus above full pool....

The tourism engine is always crying foul about something. So really Honestly, I don't think that plays part in the decision at all...

As I have said all along, I don't even think the state would consider a NW order for Winnipesaukee until it went over 505 ft. and while we where close it didn't get there... At that level, many marina's, and yacht clubs start running into issues..... Up until then most of the problems are from individual home owners...
