Looks like September 20 was maybe the last day for the USGS floating buoy at Weirs Beach that transmitted the water data including the temperature to the website below. The water temp daily listing in this Lake Winnipesaukee website, as posted by the Webmaster, stopped on September 21, the last day of summer.

Holy smokes....is the Weirs Beach area so totally a summer time, seasonal area, that even the United States Geological Survey's, water quality watch, floating buoy was shut down or removed on September 21?

Question: Is the buoy still floating in its' place just beyond the swim line at Weirs Beach, or has the buoy been removed from the lake?

In June, the U.S. Geological Survey placed a floating buoy just outside the swim line at the beach at Weirs Beach that monitors the water for bacteria, water quality, temperature and other conditions.

You can access the temperature info 24/7 : https://www.usgs.gov/news/buoy-popul...ay-out-water-0 by going to the WaterQualityWatch link at the bottom, and then clicking on the small triangle spot in the center of New Hampshire, on the map.

Go to the 'WaterQualityWatch' link above, click on the small Lake Winnipesaukee triangle and what you get is "Parameter monitored seasonally."

Hellooooo Congressman Frank Guinta....... https://guinta.house.gov/ ......is there any chance you can help the Winnipesaukee forum get this USGS buoy working again.....for all us poor locals who are stuck here all year around.....and cannot afford to escape the winter to Florida, or Arizona, or Saint Croix?

Believe the floating, USGS water monitor buoy, is located in the lake in the Weirs Beach, NH 03246 postal zip code area and is within our Congressman Frank Guinta's 2nd District of New Hampshire. Come on Frank, Buddy, come help us with the water temperature buoy ....... it was great while it was working....but it got closed on September 21......the last day of summer.....and we are still here.......boo-hoo!

Plus, do not mean to get political here.....but Frank.... buddy.....don't you have an election coming up next month? If anyone else is totally bored out of their mind, and has nothing better to do.....then maybe you too could send Congressman Frank an email of concern for our not working, USGS monitor buoy?

Looking at http://www.blackcatnh.com/index.php and it says the water temperature at two feet depth is 73-degrees. If that is really true....then it's time to get wet and go swimmimg! 73-degrees on October 2? ..... can that be correct? ......could be the warmest October 2 water temp here ever, ever, ever for the last 12,000 years.....just ask the Old Man on the Mountain!
