Squam went up over a foot this week (six inches yesterday alone) to bring it past the State's Summer Level to above Spring High Water. And with the saturated ground, continued rain, and raging streams that feed the lake, it will likely keep going up to near record levels (not just August record levels). It looks like the dam has been opened up, but I imagine there is concern for the downstream levels especially in light of recent events in Ashland. I think at this level the water is going over the top of the dam... how's that ark coming?
