Water temp readings

I drove by Winnisquam this a.m. on the way to work and saw the dreaded "heat loss fog" rising off the water.

Heat loss fog, already? I haven't seen that yet but it does make for some *great* sunrise pictures.

The last few days the surface temp has been running cooler than the 12-foot temp. Just another sign of autumn. The hornbeam trees also have their first red leaves - they always start turning a few weeks before all the others but they still peak about the same time as the others.

Ch. 6 Weather (Kevin Mannix) said mountain valleys would probably get down into the 30s on Saturday night.

Personally, I think 70 is the ideal lake temp. Just right. And once you get into 80 and above, the algae blooms go into overdrive.

Bad news update, saw it again on the big lake on Meredith bay yesterday morning about 5:30.

It felt like November suddenly roared in about midnight last night. Calm quiet summer night became hefty gusts out of the northwest in a matter of minutes and the wind is still increasing. Dewpoint now in the 40s, temp in the 50s, wind still increasing and tossing up the whitecaps.

Not surprisingly the water temp is now steadily dropping from 72. Based on weather forecast I think it'll get down to around 67 before this first-of-the-season cold wave is done with us.
