As of this morning, Winnipesaukee has dropped 5 of the 8 inches it was over full. By the end of the week, it should be down to "full pool" and the Lakeport dam flow reduced to hold it there for now....

That's a good question and with Winnisquam and Silver Lake still very high, I was surprised they opened up Lakeport as much as they have. I'm sure they are watching that.

They bumped up the output at Lakeport and from Winnisquam after I checked them early this morning.

It's good to get rid of the additional water but, to be honest, going from 1200 CFS to 1500 CFS...

Agreed.

We have another inch of rain expected today and tomorrow and then dry for a week which should let the lake drop about 4 inches at the current dam output. If we don't get too much rain the...
