One area of concern I am wondering about. Clearly the lakes are too high this year and need to come down. But now that we finally seem to be reverting to winter and the ice is setting in, what complications will result from lowering the water while the ice is in place/forming.

Honestly, we'll be lucky to get the lake down more than a few inches from where it is today (503.76), which is only 7 inches below our June 1st full lake target - and that's only if it stays cold and keeps snowing. Inflows along the river system remain high, as does Winnisquam and Silver Lake, but as they fall off a bit we are likely to add more flow from Lakeport.
As far as additional shoreline damage that may be caused by a small drop in the lake level, I would expect much.
