Still got a lot of rainy winter left! Hopefully it keeps going. Looks like most of the area lakes keep filling until around March.

Been delinquent with my weekly update.

So, as far as Lake Level today it is staying pretty much the same since Nov 5th, lost a little but overall not as significant as it was losing this past summer.

From what I've seen from the water, Potters Creek looks like a very popular camping / RV place.  It does have a ramp, just not sure when it becomes unusable at what lake level.  Quick phone call should have you an answer when and if you decide to come down.

End of the Month update:  Jan net loss of   -0.32 ft       -3.84 in.


Lake level as of today:  901.10      -7.90


Everyone is going to have to help Capt Yarrr do his Rain Dance.

Although I hear he is contributing to the  level by the hose, two engines now running, exhaust spitting  water and singing the high performance song!!!

We're going to be in trouble if we don't get our usual spring time rain bump.

I'll wash two of my cars today.  That might help trigger some rain.

Release rate has increased fro 52cfs to 55cfs now.


Need some rain real bad.
