- 19:521/2
- 19:52trillion
- 19:53gallons
- 19:53of
- 19:54water.
- 19:55But
- 19:56I
- 19:56really
- 19:57like
- 19:57to
- 19:57think
- 19:58of
- 19:58Lake
- 19:58Champlain
- 19:59as
- 19:59a
- 19:59very
- 19:59dynamic
- 20:00system
- 20:02because
- 20:03it,
- 20:04it's,
- 20:04it's
- 20:04a,
- 20:05you
- 20:05know,
- 20:05a
- 20:06big
- 20:06catch
- 20:06basin
- 20:07right
- 20:07for,
- 20:07for
- 20:07it's
- 20:08got
- 20:08a
- 20:08very
- 20:08large
- 20:08watershed.
- 20:09And
- 20:10after
- 20:12the
- 20:12spring
- 20:13melt,
- 20:14Lake
- 20:14Champlain
- 20:14typically
- 20:15will
- 20:15get
- 20:15to
- 20:1699
- 20:16to
- 20:17100ft
- 20:17above
- 20:18sea
- 20:18level,
- 20:19sometimes
- 20:19higher.
- 20:20We
- 20:20had
- 20:20the
- 20:20highest
- 20:21lake
- 20:21level
- 20:21in
- 20:212011
- 20:22of
- 20:22103.3ft.
- 20:24So
- 20:24tremendous
- 20:25amount
- 20:25of
- 20:25water
- 20:26there.
- 20:27And
- 20:29unlike,
- 20:30you
- 20:30know,
- 20:30Lake
- 20:31Champlain
- 20:31is
- 20:31not
- 20:31like
- 20:32a
- 20:32bathtub.
- 20:32So
- 20:32it
- 20:33doesn't
- 20:33just
- 20:33come
- 20:33straight
- 20:34up
- 20:34when
- 20:35it
- 20:35comes
- 20:35out,
- 20:35it
- 20:36spreads
