Quote
"The last two decades have been kind of exceptional," said Carl Watras, a climate scientist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Water levels have been declining since 1998, Watras told Live Science. "Our lakes have never been lower than they are."

The research was published Jan. 21 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

When do the Republicans continue to support a demented old man who cannot do the job?

Oh, right, because while he may be a deranged fool, he publicly champions what Republicans love: bigotry, corruption, and white supremacy.

I thought he meant record deepness as in deeper than other lakes. Not deeper than in the past.

I think it's pretty clear he didn't (and they aren't - their high volume comes from huge surface are plus some depth, not record depth).

But Snowguy's correction above is right (as is Trump's malapropism in this case) after a couple years of high snow and rain, water levels are at record highs after the recent lows I linked above and mistakenly thought had continued.
