Default 4 inch rise

IG, don't forget the ground is frozen, so all the rain plus the ice/snowmelt has been basically running right into the lake, not only from the streams, rivers, brooks, etc. , but just plain running off the land around the lake and right into the lake.

this kind of weather must absolutely drive the Lakeport Dam operators nuts, trying to anticipate how much of a rise or fall the weather is going to create. I think they do a marvelous job and my hat's off to them. Now if they could just get this ice to melt just a little faster, we could open up the gates a little more, and let Manchester worry about it!!!!!!
