My mistake, it was lower in both 2004 and 2005. The water level website gives some misleading info- today it says the last time it was within 2 inches of current level was 2004 and yesterday it said 1970 for that level. The lowest in 2005 seems to be 3555 ft in April and it rose over 50 ft that year so obviously the last time water levels were within 2 inches of current 3576 was 2005. It won't continue to drop all that much more and certainly not until late May. If the good snowpack continues it will be filling long before then. Back in 2005 the nadir appears to have been April 8 and water levels were up 40 ft by the end of May. Like I said don't cross it off your list quite yet- only time will tell.
