Lake Levels: February 2014

Lake Superior continued its seasonal decline in January and remains only an inch below the long-term average level.

From the International Lake Superior Board of Control and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:

The level of Lake Superior declined 7 cm (3 inches) last month, which is equal to the average amount the lake declines in January. The Lake Superior level is approximately 3 cm (1 inch) below its long-term average beginning-of-February level, but 30 cm (12 inches) above the level recorded a year ago. It is 6 cm (2 inches) above its chart datum level. The level of Lake Superior is expected to continue its seasonal decline during February.
