"The low April snow cover anomaly is the cause for record Great Lakes water" If water falls as rain, instead of as snow which melts later on, it helps raise levels early in the year. If I was gonna attribute these levels to anything, I'd go with El Nino. El Niño Effects On Great Lakes Water Levels BY DANIEL KELLY — NOVEMBER 10, 2015 So what will this year’s El Niño mean for winter water levels in the Great Lakes? The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, is working to forecast the levels, and has released a water level outlook addressing them. “Regional climatic forecasts are currently influenced by strong El Niño conditions, which are anticipated to continue throughout the winter and into the spring,” the outlook product reads. “Climate forecasts show warm winter temperatures accompanied by drier conditions, especially after November.” For Lakes Superior and Michigan-Huron (hydrologically one lake), the Corps’ forecast shows that water levels will likely be above what they were during the 1997 to 1998 El Niño. For Lake Erie, the most probable forecast has its levels below those during both of the last two El Niño events. lakescientist.com
