Lake Levels

[MUSKY18]

So how are the lake levels looking back in Minnesota? I have heard through various sources and emails that they are very low and much precipitation is needed???????

on the news last night they said L.Supieior is down 1 foot! It's unbielivible. Thats alot of water.

32,000 sqaure miles x 1 foot. Someone who's good at math.. how many gallons is that?

about 6.5*10^13 gallons or 65,000,000,000,000 gallons. 65 trillion gallons. wow.

that is if my math is correct and i did the conversions from english to metric back to english right.

Dude, that makes my head hurt.

Red lake ia way down, sanbars go out pretty far before they find enough water to cover them and the docks are all sticking up high and dry.

Our two math wizards might be over 58 trillion gallons apart on their estimates. But either way, that's a heck of a lot of water!

We got some late season heavy snow, which helped with levels some, but we are still below average. Looks like another dry spell has started, which means, lakes will suffer. It hasn't rained since the 15th, and the 7 day forecast is mostly dry.
