The reason the lake is so low and at the dam aint generating but 18000 to 24000 most days is NO WATER we are in a moderate drought right now according to the weather channel ,way below normal for our rain . And nothings happening in the whole water shed up stream to get any. Guntersville is controlled by Nickajack as to how it runs its out put. Also TVA always lowers the water in Winter trying to kill the milfoil and weeds and that hurt them this year because they have not the inflow they usually get in winter. On the other hand the weed kill off will be the most in years due to the low water and the long week of sub freezing weather we had. All the rain seems to be going south or just drying up when it hits North Alabama .Case in point this weekend they were predicting 1 inch for most places , all I got was .2 in been like that all winter The big G is as low as I have seen it this time of year . Need rain and lots of it.
