TR Strange happening on the CT River

I notice, that for som reason, the flow on the Swift was *increased* by
about 90 CFS about four days ago, and is once again dropping at
glacial speed. On the graph, the flow went up in a straight line, so
the only explanation I can think of is that they are releasing more
water from the bottom. Why? Who knows? Maybe they feel that by
releasing more water now, overall it will come back to normal faster.

Anyhow, I might sneak out for a bit tomorrow, but I've got to tell you
I'm more than a little tired of fishing high water, and my daughter
Diane closed on a house Wednesday, and is in the process of moving, so
I may glean a few more Father's Day points and help her for a while.

Just as an aside, the area I where I stayed in NH, received about 3.5"
of rain while I was there, but some other areas not far to the south
got 10.5" in the same period. Lots of black and blue dots in the north
country on the USGS map.
