Impact of today's rain

Sparrow Hawk · 06-03-2006, 06:13 PM

How much has the lake risen today with all the rain? My guess is that today's storm could take us back up 2-3 inches. Has anyone checked recently?

Sparrow Hawk:

I was at the lake today and it still seems to be dropping, at least weekend over weekend. Hopefully, by next weekend we will be back closer to normal.

From a few reports I've heard on WMUR and one or two of the local radio stations, I doubt that we'll see a rise in the lake level. More than likely the effect will be to slow down the rate that the lake level drops over the next few days.

Readings:

5.01 (feet) Friday morning
4.97 Saturday morning
4.95 Sunday morning
4.91 @ 9:30 Sunday evening

It's still dropping, albeit not as fast as it was before the rains.

At my dock, it looks like it was down from earlier in the week. The current in Paugus Bay is pretty strong.

Most of the lakes region did not receive as much rain as did say Rockingham County and points south. Was down in Derry today for son's birthday and there were roads that had just opened after being flooded this weekend.

Wonderful news! Mebbe I'll get out this weekend. What's full lake again, 504 and a tiny percentage?
