I have been around the lake all my life....but the current situation has never arisen (in my lifetime). With the water level the way it is, with the prediction of a much drier than normal winter....come spring when usually the water starts rising....what does the forecast look like should we have a dry winter? I mean is 475 the best we get and possibly lower? Will the lake be able to come up any with the melt off of snow from up north? What is the long term forecast for the lake level next year? I realize the answer is not cut and dry because we could get blasted with several hurricane type showers and have a very wet winter...but with the forecast...what can we as lake lovers expect?

Snow from up north has no effect. Rain falling in about a dozen counties in Alabama and Georgia affects the lake when the rain runoff flows into the creeks and streams that feed into the Tallapoosa River north of the lake or the streams feed directly into the lake. The best hope is in the proposed change outlined in a thread below about APCO seeking a temporary variance to the rule curve. Basically they want to hold back more water in November and December and start filling the lake in January rather than waiting until February. Given the same amount of rain we had last year between Nov and April, they think they can refill the lake to summer pool by April 1

If you look down a few topics, you will see an attached post with the letter from Alabama Power and their request to prevent any further problems with water levels next spring. They are requesting that they start in Nov. instead of Jan. if I understood it correctly.
