Lake Lanier, you guys getting any water...yet?
It's snowed pretty think up here over the last week, and then we were
hit with some pretty hard rains. I know it will take a while, but is
Lanier's lever starting to rise...yet? |

| I might have mentioned in another thread already, but I was in Atlanta
for a few days over New Years and had a chance to check out Lanier.
It's hard to imagine unless you actually see it. I walked out on a
dock that had 25'-40' foot sailboats on it two years ago. Now it's
bone dry where those sailboats were docked. Maybe it's filled a little
in the last month but I'm thinkin' it's gonna be a looooong time
before the water is anywhere near the docks and ramps again. Rick |

| Yes, we are actually at winter pool, which is low as hell, but still! |

| We had had lots of rain in Jan and Feb, at least compared to the last 6
months, but the lake levels have not risen. At least it has not gone
down at all. We will need a number of tropical depressions or hurricanes to drop a
ton of rain in North Georgia to get the levels back to where they need
to be. |

you're doing better. |

| We are actually way below winter pool, (about 15 ft), check out this
graph to see current, forecasted and average lake levels http://water.sam.usace.army.mil/lanfc.htm |

| Hey, check this dude out, he's from Hattiesburg, MS and plays around
Atlanta sometimes. He's the real deal and when I saw him he brought
the roof down! http://www.blindpigrecords.com/index.cfm?section album&catalognum BPCD51=

| The redline showing the average, does include the normal drawdown, and
is the actually average of lake levels. I normally keep my boat in the water during the winter, and on nice days
would enjoy a nice cruise just to anchor and read a book, or have lunch
on the lake. I have never seen the lake this low, including the last
major drought we had in the early 80's. If you visit this site, you can see all of the historical data from 1956
to 2008. We really are 15 ft. below the normal winter low. http://water.sam.usace.army.mil/gage/bufelev.htm |
