Lots of rain and even some hail on the big lake, but a pretty steady water level so far this summer.
The black flies are back so it is time to put the docks and boats in. I know of only one snow pile yet to melt.
Greetings from the white and slippery slopes of Ossipee Lake. As of 6 pm Sunday, April 13, 2008 it looks like spring may really come this year. Water level on the big lake is 409.75′ (2.5′ above summer level) and will go higher.
Snug on Broad Bay, Bob Smart takes the measure of winter in frigid temperatures, deep snow and a water level rising under the ice.
After a long summer season of well-controlled water depth for Ossipee Lake, the fall/winter drawdown started last Wednesday. Level was holding at 407.25 for many weeks with half a gate open, the weather was warm and the boats were active.
