Mild winter coupled with little rain has kept local water levels low
OMI Agency
I.ilkt' llama could he set to continue reaching
new record lows this spring.
last month Lakes I !won and Michigan, which
hydrologists study together, drol►t:ed to 1 75.6 1
metres above s('it level, 1)1I':ihlllg l n'('oe)l st't i11
1 q6'1.
1 iydrologists line pointing to it mild winter last
year combined wIth it lack of rain this summer as
the culprits.
"We hada double whammy this year," said
Chuck Southam, senior water resources engineer
with Environment Canada. "\\'e had virtually no
snow 111 the basin, particularly in the lower pint of
the basin. We had some rain but not Irlttch.'
Lust Weekend the St. (auh region saw 16 111111 of
111111 coupled with 10 111111 of water 1.10111 inviting
snow.
1 lowever, that rain wasn't enough to help cont
Illetely refill lake 1luron.
"Unlike Lake Erie which had that storm track
over its entire surface and gave it some water (last
weekend), it only touched it portion of Lake 1 luron,
so you didn't get its much hang for your buck so to
sneak," Southam said,
Lake 11uroi may continue beating record low
water levels if current weather conditions remain,
according to Environment Canada projections.
"Even if we start seeing really wet weather, it'll
just help us climb back up to the chart datum
(average water) level by the summer, which is not
really great because recreational boating and com-
mercial navigation like sea levels it bit higher,"
Southam said.
Saturday could see some rain in Ole afternoon,
according to Environment Canada. Periods of
snow are expected to hit Sarnia Monday and con-
tinue into \Vednesdily.
