As of today the drawdown of Ossipee Lake is almost complete.
Lake level is on target at 406.81' feet Sunday evening. By Monday morning it should be down about 6" below standard height of 407.25' - just what Steve at the N.H. Dam authority had predicted.
Mother Nature is playing with Ossipee Lake again.
The Ossipee Lake water level roller coaster ride continues, and Steve at the State Dam Bureau plus the Ossipee Lake Dam authority are planning and doing all they can to slow down the ride to 407.25 feet above sea level for the next three months.
My last report on 4/07/05 gave an estimated lake level of 409' above sea level. Subsequently I received the official Broad Bay reading of 409.5' from Chuck Depew. This was 4 days after the last rain.
