Just saw a quick blurb on TV that says Lake Superior is up 8" and other lakes are starting to rise (-:

That's great. Much of the rain has hit the entire region of GLs so it will contribute to sustain increases. Plus the run-off has started from the UP so that will increase the lower lakes in the next couple of weeks!

Hit a sandbar in Lake Erie about 1 1/2 miles offshore, just west of Port Ryerse. Just a word of caution. Looking for GPS after that incident.

I was riding a PWC in Lake Huron at least a 1/2 mile offshore and realized I was over a shoal with boulders popping through everywhere. I don't start my boat now without powering up the GPS first.

A neighbour of mine has family in Kapuskasing, they where calling for SNOW last night, apparently there is still a crapload of water up North, the weather "Experts" are also claiming we aren't going to have a super hot summer either, so, that should help keep levels up.

Now if we can get a few more winters like the past one AND keep the Asian carp at bay things will be pretty good (-:

Up 8'' from when? I can't speak for the great lakes but Lake St. Clair is still way down. I personally have never seen it this low this time of year.

Up 8" in the last week I believe, sounds like most Great Lakes are up a little as well, no idea about St Claire

I'm docked at Port Dover, they now have put up a sign,launch at own risk 30' and over. That wasn't there a month ago. They had to dredge the entrance to the marina, as the water level was only 4' deep. Doesn't look good sad to say.

That Sucks, they must be holding water back somewhere? I know most of the smaller lakes, rivers around here are up a bit. I would love to see it up more, but at least it's not dropping. Doesn't sound good for Lake St Claire and some other areas though. I think it will take a few more snowy winters and cool summers to get things back to "normal"

It's June now, so I think this about as high as the water is going to get this year )-:
