Wow, it's amazing how fast the water temperature drops when the sun goes down! When I posted around 7:20 this evening, the temperature at 2 feet below the surface was 39.9 according to the Black Cat Weather page. As of this moment, only three hours and 20 minutes later it is already at 38.1. However, a few moments ago it was reading 37.6, which means there is current moving colder water around, I would imagine. But nonetheless, the water cools off FAST at night. No wonder there's so much glazing-over of open water each morning.

Thankfully we'll be in the 70's again tomorrow, with lots of beautiful sunshine, and will hopefully see a lot more of what we saw happen today.
