lost a lure

Lowered flow from 10,400 to 9,900 at 16:01 today. Heading back to normal.

Lake St. Lawrence is at 234.67 @ 20:00. Amazing that it's holding there with the flows.

The major flow is through Moses Saunders and Long Sault now. Diversion canals are minimal with the water level so low.

Some old stone foundations are visible and the old roads.

The level on the upstream side of the Iroquois Dam only fluctuated up and down approximately 4 inches from this A.M. to P.M. with the wind change and approximately .5 inches on the downstream side. If you look back when the levels where higher the wind affected the levels more.

Look at todays gauge readings at Cape Vincent, Alexandria Bay and Ogdensburg. You can see when the wind direction changed from SW to NW.

Wow.What?

Don't tell anybody I told you, but the flow is 10,600. Not sure if they posted it yet Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

As I stated previously the Lake Ontario levels where both low and high before the seaway was built. Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What is the "set minimum" for Lake St. Lawrence? Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Where did you take your measurements?

Levels were both low and high before and after the seaway was built. Would the 2019 level have been as high without the dams? According to your theory the flow would have been higher when the water level was higher, especially without the Iroquois Dam "bottleneck"

The open the Iroquois Dam comment was to provoke a response from anyone who knows how it actually works or thinks they do. I never said the high flows were sustainable without the level of Lake St. Lawrence dropping. Once again "none of that matters to you because you don't live on that portion of the river" are your words not mine. My tune is not changing no matter where I live. '

11" below lwd and the drop in water level are two different things. Lake Ontario did not drop 8 feet. You can see part of Chimney Island shoal.

As of 05:00 1/6/2020 Lake St. Lawrence is 11.42" below lwd down stream of the Iroquois Dam. Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I did not argue that the shipping wants lower flows or higher water. Those are your words. When are you going to realize that major corporations don't tell the truth about their profits? What happened to your argument about the water flows could not reach 10,400?

And who is telling the Standard what to print? The shipping industry

We have those numbers. Nothing can be done about the inflows. The outflows are higher than inflows now.

Flow increase from 10,300 to 10,400 on 1/5/2020 at 12:01.

Flow was lowered from 10,500 to 10,300 at 19:01
