The summer started out with record high water. If you remember, lots of the highways were flooded and we had to find detours to reach Red Lake.
Then as the summer progressed there was at least one rainfall just about every day, sometimes a deluge. But there were also lots of sunny periods and the weather was very warm. In fact, our weather station at the cabin recorded a high of 52.8 C or 127 F. I don't know the date for that as I didn't set it up when I activated the station this spring. That was the temperature in the sun. Had it been in the shade it would have been a Canadian record.
It figures that once I had the roof put on our cabin, about mid-August, it barely rained again.
By the time we pulled out in mid-October, the lake was nearly record low. That was caused not only from the lack of rain but also because the water control dam at Snowshoe Dam was wide open so repairs could be made to it. Those repairs were finished and the logs replaced just as we left.
