Ginx snewx Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Only 5 inches precip this year, 7 inches below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes, Lake and pond levels are low especially the ones that lower them in the fall expecting to be replenished with the spring runoff, And that is the problem i see up this way is there is no runoff and a lot of the lakes are well below normal so we will need some beneficial rains soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the runoff surged rivers downstream like the CT today to normal March levels which is not good because usually spring melt is in April. Stem rivers are brutally low.

forkyfork Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 there hasn't been a lasting dry period in this region since 2002... i'll bet you a drink at the conference that most of us will be above normal precip wise by that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had went by Surgarloaf on Saturday and it looked awful with a lot of rocks and grass on the mountain's trails, We were talking about this in Eustis as well, They were going to try to stay open until reggae weekend which i think was april 12th, That looked like it was not going to happen, Flagstaff lake is well below normal by 6-8' and the rocks were showing already on the Carabasset river which was quite low, There was just some piles of snow left in shaded north facing areas but no snow on the mtns or the woods in that area, We are going to need some April rains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Drought conditions increasing The feedback from this drought is setting up much of the Northeast for a very hot summer. It's an expansive area of dryness that stretches well out into the midwest. We've already seen what can happen in March..wait until JJA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Flagstaff lake is well below normal by 6-8' and the rocks were showing already on the Carabasset river which was quite low, Before the FERC relicense dance 10 or so yr ago, CMP used to draw down the lake by 25', though that probably less than doubles the drawdown volume. Still, it's fortunate that the drawdown is now limited to what you saw. About 4 days prior to the massive 1987 flood, I got an aerial view of Flagstaff from a light airplane. One could follow the thread of the Dead River channel, by the slumped ice, to within 3 miles of the dam. Who could know that less than a week later the Big Eddy camping area just downriver would be under 3 feet of water. Responding to an earlier post: "Drenching drizzle" is an oxymoron, unless one's job includes walking thru doghair spruce-fir saplings. We need some real rain, not a lengthy event that merely moistens the leaves without doing anything to replenish groundwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
