I would point out that, per Bizer, the lake is almost perfectly lined up with the "average" water height for this time of year. The dam bureau has done a good job keeping things at "normal" through most of the year.
Winnipesaukee does NOT have a annual drawdown like some lakes, dropping over a foot in a couple weeks. The height is gradually modulated up and down through the year. The lake level has been slowly dropping since June and will probably continue until October and then maintained at that level through the winter. Heavy rains or drought periods can have a significant impact on those plans.
