So we are currently at 503.95 and before the lake started to re-act to all the efforts to bring the level down it got up to 504.18 as JeffK indicated around 1/5/2023.....

now 1/10 of a foot is 1.2 inches and the delta is .23.... so the lake is down roughly 2.75 inches....

Now generally the lake is down around 503 ft. at this point..... so there is still .95 feet to be drawn down... if they can keep the rate of drop it will be back around its statistical norm in about 3-4 weeks.... hopefully weather will cooperate and that time line will move up..... and they will not have to increase flows into the lake form any of the surround lakes or ponds that feed into Winnipesaukee...
