I think the Black Cat readings must be off for some reason. Those readings usually track close to mine and the others reported around the lake. Seems odd that it would be the only place reporting about 10 degrees lower than everywhere else.

Also, if you look at the historic temperatures on this site, temps around 60 for mid-May are the norm.
The last 3 days the wind has been howling with whitecaps all over. That may have churned up the water enough to make a difference. If I remember your place is generally in the lee side of the lake, no?
