Outdoorsman, where are you getting your reading?
I am recording 46 with mine on Merrymeeting, which usually tracks Winnipesaukee fairly well. Though since my dock came out, the location is different. Now it's only in about 1' of water near the shore. This time of year, I suspect that it would be warmer as you get deeper.
In either case, we are looking at a 15 year high for this time of year. I went back through the recorded temps on this site for Dec. 12th (+/- a day or two depending on when readings were taken). The results are below. If we are close to 50 today, it is a rather striking difference from the norm.
