Does anybody else feel that The NH Dept. of Water Resources is dropping the lake elevation too much? All last week they had the flood gates wide open with a 1602 CFS rate of outflow. I know that the deviation from norm is +1.42 for this time of year, but nothing normal about this year! Ice out 10 days or so earlier than ever before. The spring melt is done, there is no snow left anywhere. I'm used to seeing full lake of 504.32 when I open up the island house and this year I'm not sure we will ever get there.
