Lots of things happened, including this

Why have there been no postings for the past month?
There are lots of reasons. We have been busy re-roofing many of the buildings in camp, helping out with the trout project, closing camp for the winter and dealing with this, a major winter snowstorm that struck the first week of October.
The storm left about 14 inches of heavy, wet snow on the ground, broke down trees and lasted for nearly two weeks.
I'll have more postings directly.

Quite a snow storm for October. Just curious as to how all this snow effected the water level.

Thanks,
Kevin

I think it brought up the lake level several inches. It also has rained a lot in the last month and that too is raising the level. The lake was about the lowest it had been in many, many years but now has risen probably a foot in total. Personally, I was hoping the level would stay low. I think it is good for aquatic vegetation. Also, it might help from the chronic flooding of loon nests that has been happening each spring.
