[OffshoreDrilling]

I don't even have a boat wet to complain about levels, but this already sucks.

 

[PANDA]

fuck, looking at this, [MENTION=16]PANDA[/MENTION], it is dropping everywhere, good amount below median's everywhere.

not much current in the upper currently either.

Chain O Lakes Experimental Water Levels

I have been looking at the graphs lately just to see if any corilation between rain we have been getting and water level. It seems below averate but I don't see the lower actually dropping faster then upper. IDK

 

[PANDA]

I do notice tho most piers on the upper are slightly above most swim platform height and lower rub rail.

 

[PANDA]

welp this is when they drain the lower.

 

[Yaj Yak]

it's weird cuz more water should be coming in.

 

[Yaj Yak]

[MENTION=16]PANDA[/MENTION] get one of these.

Guys on the lower river FB group were saying do NOT go north of Broken Oar.

I mean its shallow by Keifs but as long as u stay in the middle you should be fine right.

 

[Yaj Yak]

that facebook page is insanity, dear god.

Oh please.

They are going to "hold" the water north of McHenry Dam untill the Upper and Lakes are no wake and only then they would release it south.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

[Yaj Yak]

i like that [MENTION=16]PANDA[/MENTION] thinks there is an army core of engineers conspiracy against him personally.

 

[Yaj Yak]

july and august are going to be more than interesting to say the least.

 

[PANDA]

Boating season is done for at my house if we don't get rain. The level is almost at what is was last summer this time.
