Winter storms drive surge of property damage, shoreline erosion on Flathead Lake
Jeremy Newell felt relief when he saw the weekly forecast called for near-50-degree days in the first week of February. Newell had nothing against the litany of snow sports that dominate the Flathead Valley during the winter months, but he had spent weeks worrying over his own recreational prospects, many of which centered on the private dock that jutted a few dozen feet from his Lakeside property. Most years, the structure was high and dry by early February as the water level in Flathead Lake slowly dropped from a summertime high of 2,893 feet to a springtime low of 2,883 feet. This year, Newell watched in nervous anticipation as a slurry of ice encased the dock’s legs in late January. “If you get a foot-thick ice, which does happen, it could tear these docks right up,” he said. “The damage can be monstrous.” So far, Newell said he hasn’t noticed any damage to his dock, but the unusually high water level remains unnerving. Flathead Lake currently sits at about 2,891 feet — more than five feet above the norm for the beginning of February and two feet below full pool — and plenty of other residents along the lake’s shore
