The melting of snow from an above normal snow pack established in February, March and early April, as well as several rain events during the latter half of April, contributed to a significant run-off into streams and rivers of the Lake Champlain basin, which eventually deposited into Lake Champlain.|Lake Champlain had been rising steadily since mid month, and at 7:15 pm LST on April 20th, finally exceeded its flood stage of 100.0 feet. Primarily...only minor shoreline flooding but was occasionally exasperated due to strong winds and wave action along the Vermont shoreline. Several summer camps, cottages experienced flooding as well as a few docks damaged as well. The lake would remain above flood stage through the end of April.
