The first winter storm is set to arrive early Friday morning (12/23/22). It appears that the biggest concern will first be a flash freeze, then high winds with extremely cold temperatures. It doesn’t look like the snow total will be too significant.

Our plan is to put an application of salt on the roads beginning at 11:00 PM. The goal is to reduce the amount of freezing that will happen when the temperature quickly drops below freezing. The flash freezing is my biggest concern for the roads with this event. I recommend that you stay off the roads late Thursday into Friday morning.

We will treat the storm accordingly as the snow arrives. We don’t have enough information yet to know for certain what types of service we will need to do after our initial salting.

Our crews and equipment are ready to go!

On 11/28/22 we set the baffles to approximately the current lake level. Based on the size of the baffles, the lake level should actually increase by about 4 inches. This means that the water level will not lower due to the valve remaining open.

The valve is still open and will remain open until at least March 1, 2023. Should we get a couple of rain events in December that causes the lake to rise above the level of the baffles, the lake has the opportunity to drain back down to the baffle level. This is 100% based on Mother Nature. If the lake level increases and we continue to get rain, the level may not drop back down to the current level. Based on that, now is the time to take advantage of your shoreline being 100% exposed. I can not predict or control how long the level will stay at winter pool.
