Lake Koshkonong Graphs from Ken B - Thanks!!

Brian,
I saw your post about the lake dropping slowly, and decided to do a historical comparison with the USGS data archive.

I lined up all of the floods over 10 feet since 1987 as they are receding past 9.5 ft. I also calculated the daily change rate. Both graphs are shown here: (SEE BELOW)

So our current drop rate of -1.6 inches per day is about average. And we can expect to get to 7.5 ft in about 10 more days, unless we get more rain. It is interesting that the fastest drop rate of -3 inches per day was after the big flood of 2008.

Do you have the history of the dates when No-Wake was lifted for these floods? It would be interesting to plot those data points on the same graph.
