If you look at the websites that post lake level data (SnakeEyes, Bizer, etc), the lake is as high as it's been in many years at this time. No surprise given how much snow and ice melted last week during the brief thaw.

At one point last week I stood on my shoreline and listened to the sounds of the streams around Merrymeeting pouring in. It sounded like it usually does in March or April.

I have to believe that all that water moving around has a big impact on the state of the ice.
