Flooding

Just FYI,
I keep a boat at the Lowell Motor Boat Club at the Pawtcket Dam in Lowell. Friday the water level was 5 or 6 feet BELOW normal. Today the river is beyond flood stage and is nearly at the highest level I have ever seen and we are told that it won't crest for a day or two.

What is happening up north? As I see the river at my vantage point it has come up 5 feet to reach "normal" levels, and another 6 or 7 feet to get where it is now!

That's a lot of water!!!!

So how is the lake?

How is the river above Manchester?

Between Friday night and Sunday afternoon the lake came up about a foot and is still rising (See Bizer.com for the latest lake level chart). We've reached "full lake" and beyond at this point. Be wary of floating debris. The high water has dislodged all kinds of stuff....
