Rain

With even more rain the Army Corps and TVA continue to try to keep the lakes at winter pool. The folks who are trying to work on docks and other structures on the lake side of the dam (yes, they are counting on low water) are probably having a difficult time getting their work done. The snow and rain hit Middle TN last night, but they continue to try and drop the lake levels by running the generators 24/7.

The lake level at Tims Ford Reservoir is bouncing up and down, but seems to be generally headed in the right direction for the moment.

Dale Hollow Dam is releasing two and the water level in Dale Hollow Lake is going up!

Center Hill Dam and the Army Corps seem to be determined to drop the lake and are releasing a large amount of water. The weather people, well, they say rain and snow the rest of the day and then a week of drier weather. I sure hope they are right with week of drier weather...
