Monthly Lanier status update
Sunday, June 1st, 2008
It’s time again for our Lanier status update, and just like last month I’m quite pleased with the results. I had predicted that the lake would “drop a few feet” by June, but it actually rose by a few inches.
There are a few conclusions to be made from this:
- It’s wonderful that the lake held steady for the month. In the past two years, May saw an average drop of about 1.5 feet.
- We’re still nearly 10 feet lower than this time last year. With as bad as things got last year, it’s not good to be 10 feet below there.
- We’re closing the gap. A month ago we were about 11 feet lower than last year and we’ve inched a bit closer.
I’ll once again predict a drop of a couple feet for the coming month, but I say it with much less confidence.
Any predictions from you?
