Good morning
Thought I would start with some news from around the lake,
since many are running the below story in various forms this week, I found this one to cover most of the topic. As I watched the short video in the beginning and read the article, it was refreshing to see as it is seldom pointed out. It shows that only so much water can be released from the Mosses Saunders dam or Montreal and all the other areas built on an established flood plain will flood. What is not comforting about the current situation is the lake level is currently higher this year than compared to the same reporting period back in 2017, The amount of water being released this year is higher than it was back in 2017. Also mentioned is, Montreal and the surrounding area has already seen an inordinate amount of precipitation which does not make for a good case of releasing more water from the Mosses Saunders dam once spring comes later-similar to 2017.
