Just how high is Lake Erie?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Lake Erie is 2.6 inches higher than it's been in 101 years of record keeping.

The record high puts the lake at nearly 33 inches above normal, according to the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers.

Lake lovers are all talking about it. But what does it mean?

It means the lake is only about 54 degrees off of Cleveland, seven degrees below average.

It means the benches at the Jet Express dock in Sandusky are sitting in water. And the stairs at Columbia Road Beach in Bay Village end in the lake.

Take a look at the scene around Ohio's north shore, and share your own view in the comments.
