I would think it would have more effect as they are able to raise the water level significantly in the spring with around the same amount of rain. I guess the ground is soaking it all up and not letting much get to the river.
I am still under the impression that they kept it low longer to avoid the flooding situations of the last 2 years. I think they were counting on rain coming later in the spring(May) that never came.
