Spring has arrived in the form of melting ice and a rising lake level. Plus, a discussion about how low the lake level can go during winter.

It’s been a real winter, with lots of ice and snow. Most of it is still on the ground, and if we get some rain, the lake level will rise fast. But could the big lake remain iced-over until mid-May?
We have been experiencing real winter weather and snow. Looks like almost 2/3 of the snow cover has melted or turned to ice, and the temperature has been below zero many nights in the last ten days.
A December flood is not an unusual occurrence, but so far the high water has been minimal, with the bays and Danforth Pond now iced-over.
Still great weather, but the autumn drawdown means winter is right around the corner.
