Water Temp - Depressing

Merrymeeting · 08-29-2006, 09:43 AM

Sigh!

With the current weather condtions, the water temperature will drop below 70 degrees today, if it hasn't already. Looks like the lowest late August reading since the records started on this site.

What a change in the last 3 weeks! Looks like it's time to get the wetsuit out again.

Can you say ski's?

NO!!

Quick, if we all get in the lake right now the body heat will bring up the temperature!

I thought it was really nice over the past week. Kinda nice to have it somewhat less than bathtub-warm in late August. Also helps keep the dreaded "Lake Snot" down.

Your mileage may vary...

Grant,

Agreed. 75 is nice. 65 is another story!

Island Life · 08-29-2006, 02:29 PM

Actually, when the air temp. is only 61, 71 degree water doesn't feel too bad!

Here's what 53-54 degrees do to you (yours truly, May '04)...

A few dozen women in my "age group" ought to be able to raise the temp a few degrees if the timing were just right!

I guess you mean a group of HOT CHICKS?

How about putting a bunch of kids in they have an easy way of warming up the water!

You are depressed over the lake temperature..try being at work in Joisey!

Why do you think the very excellent Babes On Sleds have to coordinate when they use the lake? We're soHOT that if we were all to hit the water at the same time, there would be nothing left to this lake but a hole in the ground and lots of rocks!!!

Dude, I'm right over the river in Bucks County, and can certainly comiserate.

Haven't seen the sun since returning from the Lake Saturday night.

How appropriate.

Perhaps we can find a way to harness it as an alternative energy source!

What a delightful surprise some of the posts are here, I'm big-time

and have tears rolling down my face from the laughter. Sure can commiserate with the power surges, lol!
