Here in CT we get in the mid 50s for inches in precipitation for the year (snow/rain). We're 20 inches behind in rain. It doesn't rain here anymore...even that stupid hurricane that ripped our area didn't dump much rain, just wind and water piling up.
We're pumping pretty much sediment in our well the past month, I suspect there's going to be some serious water issues soon. We have miserable weather, but it's mostly drizzle that has no accumulation. |

Texas Levels
Out of all these lakes / reservoirs I count only 5 being at level or slightly above. Texas and the west / mid west / plains, are all in need of rain bad. Pic shows drought affected ares:

Right now we are started on a real crappy snow year if we don't get ALOT of snow soon We won't have much boating here. Or irrigation water. |

Boo Hoo ...you guys are complaining about 2.5 ft , Lake Mead is down over 101 ft right now ! We need snow in the Rockies !
If we had 101 feet we wouldn't complain either, zip it and go make some sno-cones :evilb: |

One of the great benefits of LOTO is that it will typically be very close to "normal" pool year around, each and every year.
When I travel around and see some lakes I shake my head in disbelief. If there is only so much water on this earth, and it doesn't go away, and the polar ice is melting, then where in the fock is it? Didn't Al Gore say that New York would be underwater by now? |

That's an incredible drop; how do your launch ramps and marinas cope with that? Since the levels of the great lakes don't typically change that much, and also due to the rough water on the lakes, most marinas and launch ramps are located in the shallower protected bays, inlets, etc. Because of that, if the water levels drop more than a couple feet, many of those areas can become completely cutoff.
