Summertime Lake Michigan level expected to drop further

Winter might have seemed like it returned to normal this year,
but Lake Michigan hasn't.
Despite the cold and snow of the past few months, the water
level of Lake Michigan continue to drop; as of Friday, Lake Michigan
was about an inch lower than it was at this time last year, and a
bout 17 inches below its long-term average. The long-range
forecast for water levels isn't calling for things to get much
better this summer.

It was always funny to hear some crazy old man on the lake
tell us all that "Michigan is down, Berry Lake will go down"!

Well crazy old man , we shall see this year if you are right
or just blowing wind!
