For those who want to watch and interact dates around Lake Michigan Lake levels go to Great Lakes Water Level Dashboard.
Food for thought: Lake Michigan & Lake Huron contain about 3 quadtrillion gallons of water. One inch of rise or fall of Lake Michigan account for approx. 352 Billion gallons of water. According to US Army Corp the dredging of the Lake St.Clair channel accounts for a permanent 12 to 16 inch reduction of Lake Michigan/Huron. FYI three years after the past 1964 low lake level the lake recovered 3 feet by 1967.
Last weekend was tough fishing. Ice Thursday was good, by Saturday noon ice was less than 2 inches, Temp was 51 deg. I lost one and Jerry saw one Northern with his underwater camera. A cold spell about to hit.
Last weekend we had bare ground and cold weather. Today the ice conditions are approx 10 inches of blue ice with 14 to 16 inches of snow on top. Fishing has been slow with a break in the weather it should improve. No system snow yet so no gain in lake level.
Things have warmed up here. The S. Arm still has abut six inches of blue ice, the fisherman are on the lake along with the sleek ice boats. We still need snow or rain to help the lakes and the farmers. East Jordan is holding it's winter Snow Blast this weekend although I am sure some events will have to be canceled for safety's sake.
