According to the COE .... drawdown starts Nov 1st and hits Winter Pool Dec 1st ( https://www.lrl-wc.usace.army.mil/plots/grr.html ) .... but of course that's all weather dependent, as is very obvious on the chart in the link.

Drawdown began in March 2020.

LOL yes I forgot about the spillway work and the almost 30' over summer pool all winter.

As someone already mentioned in the fall of 2019 there was no draw down due to maintenance work on the spillway area. "Tentatively" its November 15 but its often a few days late but generally it starts somewhere in the week before Thanksgiving. I will provide a link so you can see the past history. The link shows the last three years data but you can select it to show the last six years data. Select the chart so it does not show 2019 and only look at five of the last six years for an accurate model...

As you can see its "around" November 15 or a few days after the 15th. They always start slow for a couple of days then they pull the plug and drop it fast. If the inflow is minimal they can pull 7 ft (675 to 668) in a two week period. If you throw out last year you will notice five of the last six years it was winter pool buy December 9.
