Fox Chain O'Lakes level's & bridge clearance official thread

i mean... not sure if this is rhetorical or trolling but, ill field it anyway...
the chain is far more impacted by what happens north of here than what happens around here of course. rain around here is in and out pretty quick... rain north of here filters in and screws the chain...
but past that. i mean... looking at any of the water level graphs for the chain-- they are all below "no boat" level, and all above no wake level... so i mean. that's pretty straight forward imo.
one guys said he's been to jail and has no problem going back
sounds about right.
still boated more this summer than you snowmobiled last winter
so i mean
lawl
Oh its fine. We had 4 inches of rain. Not like thats the norm. But it definitely needs attention. Maybe not this year but hopefully next. Get a dump truck of soil and level off everything. the tree line is higher than puddles. So raise the puddle area and get it to go into the trees is the plan.
it rained an absolute fuck ton yesterday and the day before, here and north of here.
Chain watershed area is fucking huge
more importantly, this map shows just how much and why rain north of the chain can cause so much havoc in the chain.

yeah briefly in the afternoon i believe.
my grass and cars were soaked when i got home
welll this one shows pretty clearly why we are engaged in the current fuckery
percentage of rain vs normal for the past month... most of NE IL & fox river watershed is 300-400% of normal for the past month
fuck
Hey Skilling, where do you find this shit??? makes alot more sense now. So we have at least another week of flooding, assuming it doesnt rain anymore
KJ any flooding on the lakes?
I feel we are not in bad shape for all the rain we have getting. Especially since last July flood was caused from a single night of rain pretty much. LFRB calling for the heads of DNR employees for not managing the river good enough.
Like flooding sucks. Not boating sucks. Property damage sucks. But shut the fuck up I don't think they realize how much rain we actually got this month. I heard it was the 2nd most in 100 years. Idk to me that would make the odds of a 100 year flood pretty good. We didn't get a 100 year flood so I feel we doing OK.

yes the lakes are flooded
the lrfb page makes me never want to boat down there ever.
those people blow donkey dick.
as i posted above, the area has gotten 400% of the average rainfall for the past month... four. hundred. percent.
crystal lake in the one map for the last month has 15-18 inches of rain
