cranks bait Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 As sad as it is to see the ice not working. It is nice to see the water levels come back to life. I noticed that the St. Lawrence came up about two feet a few days ago. It's since dropped about 6-12 inches, but at least we are getting water back.

Casey123 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Anyways, just wondering if this could have waiteduntil March 15 when the huts have to be off???????????????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Anyways, just wondering if this could have waiteduntil March 15 when the huts have to be off???????????????????????????????? It would be nice if they could but there is so much water still backed up in the system throughout our area they have to let it out.If we had the same thaw starting today with what is now on the ground again here after the last few days it would likely be worse than the recent flood up in Huntsville in many areas throughout our region.Letting some water out may help keep the slush to a minimum under the snow too.

Terry Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 yeah the answer is no way can they wait the lakes are close to max levels if they wait till the spring runoff starts to they to lower the levels, it's too late maga property damage flooding everywhere, some old guy making a large wooden boat animals showing up..not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostchild Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I hear Orillia/Barrie area has something like 90cm (almost 3ft) of snow on the ground now and more coming. That is alot more water come spring or the next thaw, good on them for acting now before it is too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
