GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users
Well, that last storm was the BIG ONE!
We have two months left in the water year and we have already essentially
reached our goal! We are only 0.07" short.
And the snowpack, as of yesterday is 143% for the GSL Drainage.
Here are the numbers:
Lake Level today: 4196.0
Lake level this same time last year: 4195.3 (gain of 0.7')
Highest lake level last year: 4195.7 (gain of 0.3')
Precipitation % of normal for the water year (to Date): 144%
Precipitation % of normal for the water year (to Date) Last Year: 65%
Snowpack% of normal for the GSL Drainage: 143%
Snowpack% of normal for the GSL Drainage (last year): 65%
Snowpack% of normal for the GSL Drainage in 1983 (the flood year):
100%
Ground Water Saturation this year: VERY SATURATED!
Ground Water Saturation in 1983: VERY SATURATED!
How much did the lake come up in 1983? ABOUT FIVE FEET
How much have we come up so far? 2.4 feet.
In celebration and to give thanks for what is shaping up to be an incredible
recovery and awesome water year, I would like to propose a "IT'S ALL ABOUT
THE SUNSPOTS!" Social.
Social to be held at Trestledock (the Harbormaster's residence at the
marina) on the afternoon of Saturday, 16th after the GSLYC spring regatta.
(roughly 5pm).
Caribbean theme - potluck
Hopefully this will be an annual party (for awhile at least).
Please RSVP. All are welcome regardless of club affiliation or vessel
preference. If you love the lake, come out.
Hope to see you there. And I hope the water is just under my deck by then.
