I've now been able to come up with Indian Lake water volume stats, per https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis:
Indian Lake topped out at 43.13 billion gallons on 11/02/2019. Back in late April 2011, it hit just shy of the all-time record 43.20 b.g. Later that same year, IL again came close, at ~43.08 b.g., in the wake of Hurricane Irene on 09/11/2011. Those numbers gain meaning in light of the 2003-2019 median of just under 43 b.g.
Contrast all that against the already mentioned 43.20 b.g. highest-ever since 1900, notched in March 1913. That record high was nearly 29x the February 1948 all-time low of a mere 1.5 B.g.
My personal guess, in light of the aforegoing, is that we've now come off the peak of a roughly 100-year hydrological cycle. If so, together with circadian, diurnal, lunar, menstrual, solar, tidal and other cycles, it again underscores that, better than anything else, CYCLICALITY defines how Nature works. .
