Lake Lanier’s level shot up 2 feet after this week’s rainy weather, and it already has been on the rise since early January. The lake was at 1,061.38 feet above sea level Friday evening, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. That’s still a little more than 9 feet below the winter full pool of 1,070, but up from 1,058.4 this time last week.
