NOLIN LAKE

[dpage70]

ok here's my understanding of it in the best way i can describe it. there is summer pool, winter pool, then there is different levels of pool stage for the fall draw down. kind of like a target of this many ft down by this date. now here is how i get it lol. i don't know what the pool levels are for each day and i'm sure that very few others do too. so, look at the column that says summer pool feet, then look at the column that says todays pool feet and subtract the 2. it's pretty much always been right by what i've seen. hope that helps.

So the column that says today's pool level is really a target, and not what the actual level is?? If that's it, then it is starting to make sense.

Guess I didn't go to school enough years to learn to read such an easy grid... LMAO

Thanks a lot!!

Sorry Danny, you are still confused. The link you cited for the Corps of Engineer's lake level is correct and shows TODAY'S LEVEL. It is not a target level, it was the level when the reading was taken, which from what they told me is usually about 6 to 6:30 each morning.

What is confusing you is the reading you are getting on the LAKE TEMPERATURE page.

When you click on the site for each lake and then get the page that gives you a bar for LAKE TEMPERATURES. When that comes up you get the temps and there is a note on that page for POOL ELEVATION but that is the lake level ON THE DAY THE TEMPERATURES WERE TAKEN not today's pool. If you go back and look at Nolin, you will see the date the temps was taken on was 10/10/06 and the POOL EVELVATION for that date was 513.3. That won't change until they take another reading, so don't look at it.

Hope this helps,

Grumpy

But at the brink of danger, not before:
After deliverance, both alike requited,
God is forgotten, the soldier slighted.

The lake has come up 2.6 feet in the last two days.

no danny in the today's pool level column is the actual water level for that day like grumpy said. what always gets me is where it says deviation from pool. like today it says it's 6.4ft above pool so that means its 6.4 ft above the target that they set for todays date. just subtract todays pool level from summer pool ft and that will tell you how far below summer pool it is.
