Smooth sailing as Great Lakes levels continue their rebound

"The story of improving Great Lakes water levels can be discerned in the things unheard this summer — such as complaints.

Record snowfalls last winter, coupled with a rainier-than-usual spring and summer, have Great Lakes levels recovering faster than they have in decades.

With a second straight year of rebounding from record-low lake levels, gone are the panicked harbormasters, concerned marina owners, grumbling charter fishermen and befuddled freight shippers. No longer are city officials expressing an urgent need for dredging funds."

I'm sure there are some greenie-weenie babies that will be very disappointed with this news. They've always wanted their catastrophe scenarios to come true, just so they can say they told us so.
