Is the drought going to affect your boating

[66pony]

Are any of us going to be affected by this drought?:huh:

Hopefully we will not here in Minnesota.

It has in the past..................

Full pond

Not so full pond

We shouldnt be affected, New England is typically pretty safe from drought- as of now.

I expect we'll see more folks from Lake Lanier up here where we still have water....

The 15' high rocks that I had used to jump into the water as a child now abut a beach that's always above high tide.

Not a drought, but tidal sand relocation.

Once we finish melting the ice caps the external states will join Atlantis and those w/ dry toes will watch the Al Gore channel. (It will be mandatory.)

If Washington is every in a drought, we're all screwed.

It can affect us, at least shorten our already short 5 month season... we hope for mountains of snow at Snowshoe Ski Resort! http://www.snowshoemtn.com/mountain/dailyPhotos.htm

Drought? The Atlantic always seems full to me.

Tom- You would think after the last three days our color on the Drought Map will change radically!

I have had to drain excess water off of my Koi pond 6 times in the last 2 days.

Is that what we're going to name the new passage from the Atlantic to the inland waterways when the oceans rise to meet the Tennessee River?

 

[tmhudson2]

Uplate: It's going to take more than one 3" rainfall to get the level in our farm ponds back up to near normal.

I was thinking the same about the Gulf, if that dried up we are in serious trouble.

Lake Michigan/Huron is on the uptick. Water levels are rising and it looks to be the start of a new cycle with levels going up every year for the forseeable future. We were well above chart datum for the entire boating season and the seasonal decline forcast is for levels to remain above the winter levels of a year ago. So far, the forcast has held up.

My water comes and goes twice a day, 6 to 9 foot tide swing.
