That’s good news!
Especially if it stays up during the coming summer.

(I’m hoping that it’s not just an early snow melt…..)

Those numbers give an impressive example of how large that lake is; 16,000,000,000. gallons of water (50,566,589,0000.liters), raises the lake 6” (15.24 cm)

I have to remind myself on a regular basis how much water is in Lake Michigan - never mind the entire Great Lakes. Never mind Niagra Falls. 8)
