Guess the max lake level

Lakegeezer · 04-29-2008, 08:23 PM

OK weather prognosticators. Guess what will the maximum lake level be this year? It was 504.40 at 3PM on Tuesday, April 29'th as reported here. Where will it peak this Spring? Will we hit another 100 year high?

My guess is 505.2

My guess is 505.33. No forecasting involved...just a guess.

Just a guess.

504.90
Nothing but a guess based on the amount of unmelted snow up north (not much anymore) and the fact that the dam operators have been a step ahead of the lake levels so far this spring.

I'll guess 505.00.

It depends on whether or not this weekend provides the dam operators a chance to get it back under full, and then what kind of storms we get in May. If we get a wet weekend followed by a return to March's storms, I'd go for near-record lake level. If this weekend is mostly dry followed by a return to April's "Smokey the Bear" days, then the lake is at its max right now. My guess is somewhere between those two outcomes.
