I was just thinking about that during the weekend. It all depends on the snow for the rest of the winter, the spring rains and how well the folks at the dam manage the water level.
I am fairly confident the snow will be a minor factor, at best. We can have a wet spring and the dam folks do a great job, so I have hopes that the water levels will be reasonable. However, it is a personal concern.
I am also concerned about the spring brush fire season with not a lot of snow in the woods and the sun working on the fine fuels, the branches and leaves, on the ground.
