Yesterday was Lanier’s largest gain in more than nine months
With a rise of 1.08 inches (1050.79′ AMSL up to 1050.88′ = 0.09 ft = 1.08 inches), yesterday was Lanier’s largest rise since it climbed the same amount (from 1068.14′ to 1068.23′) back on March 16 and 17 of this year.
Today may prove to be even better. The daily release at Buford Dam has yet to occur, which will knock the level down a bit, but we’re already up 0.12 ft (1.44″) for the day. It’ll be interesting to see how the day end up.
We’re obviously a long way from this being over, but it’s certainly been an encouraging couple of days.

If you really want something to shoot for, looking back over the past year it’s interesting to note that the lever of Lake Lanier went up every day from December 21st when it was at 1062.60 to February 5th when it reached 1066.05.

According to the data at http://water.sam.usace.army.mil/gage/acf/prob1.txt, they have some different midnight pool numbers:
1050.80
1050.94
Revised data perhaps?
