After a long dry winter, recent rains are helping lake levels return to normal in eastern Jackson County. Months of dry weather conditions had caused some small lakes and ponds to completely disappear and others had fallen to the lowest levels seen in many years.
Much needed rains, however, have restored many lakes and ponds in the Two Egg-Lovedale-Parramore area to fairly normal conditions, while water levels in others have shown dramatic improvement.
According to our Two Egg Weather Reporting Station, the area received a total of 8.5 inches of rain in February and another .52 inches on Monday night and Tuesday of this week. The total since January 1 has now exceeded 13 inches, the most seen in the area in many, many months.
While more is still needed, the recent rains have been a great relief to residents in this worried area of Jackson County. Similar rainfall amounts have been reported in other areas of the county.
