Fuul lake on August 1?
Seems like DES aims for full lake the first week of June. This is a complex operation dealing with snow pack/melt, watershed saturation, predicted rain, actual rain, etc. They mostly do a good job.
I'd love for the goal to be full lake on August 1st, so that we could have good boating through October. Downstream lakes and rivers depend somewhat on Winnipesaukee, but there are also downstream dams for intermediate control. If we go overfull an inch or two and have a lake wide NWZ for a few days, I'm OK with that. Usually the lake wide NWZ has been when we are more like 6 inches over full. Pretty rare. Am I alone in this thought?
