News Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Michigan and Huron are the only lakes in the Great Lakes system to see record lows this winter. In December, levels hit a record low, falling a centimetre -- on average -- below the average record low set in December, 1964.More... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willfishforfood Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Close off the Chicago river for a bit and as it goes dry kill the Asian carp and have crews picking out the game fish. I know this is never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWheeler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Good read for sure. Is a "locks" type system possible in Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaCatMich Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I am probably against having the Chicago River connected to the Mississippi more than almost anyone, but that has very little impact on the Michigan/Huron water level. The big problem is that for the last decade, the Lake Superior watershed has be way below average precipitation. Until that corrects itself there will be low water levels. The good news is that from the previous lows of 1965 the lakes were back to above average levels by 1968... so it can correct itself fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Hook'n Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just hope we get snow and ice, and lots of it between now and March.We were dragging props in the marina last year at times...this year we may have to move slips down to the end - if they are even available.
