As I look out my kitchen window at Lake Champlain this evening, all seems well. It has been a calm, windless, gorgeous Spring day.
But, the flood warning remains in effect for Lake Champlain shoreline communities in Vermont and New York today. The lake continued to rise Friday night and Saturday morning, reaching a record 102.7 feet at Rouses Point, N.Y. as of 11 a.m., and 102.84 feet in Burlington as of noon, according to the National Weather Service in South Burlington. Forecasters predict that wind and wave action will enhance flood effects on windward facing shores and possibly cause additional damage to low lying areas.“It’s still continuing to rise slowly,” said Nathan Foster, a meteorologist at The National Weather Service. “And it’s going to continue to rise slowly probably at least for the next two or three days.”
I'm going out with my camera tomorrow to take photos and look for driftwood. Quite a lot has been washing up on shore and I'm dying to take a look.
