Lake Tahoe barely above rim — for now
By Jeff DeLong, Reno Gazette-Journal
Recent rains have Lake Tahoe lapping at its natural rim and while it may stay there for a time, the lake should soon start dropping again during this year of drought.
Thursday, the lake level was officially measured at just a few hundredths of an inch before its rim but a trickle of water flowed from the lake and toward the Truckee River. Similar conditions have existed since Monday, the first time the lake was so high since dropping below the rim last October.
“It’s basically at the rim,” said Federal Water Master Chad Blanchard. “Right now it’s at its peak that we’ve seen.”
Which is to say, it’s still very low.
What kind of crap is this? Go to read more and you are given a “answer a poll question” before you can read any further on the source webpage. I find these “Google” or other intrusive questions highly invasive to my privacy. You know that the answers go into a profiling data base through your IP address which can now tailor their sleazeball advertising to every other web page you might use.
It is possible to bypass this using tools such as noscript. I was bypassing presspass for awhile until they made it more difficult. If I figure out this one I’ll let you know.
