Well, air temp was 65 here today, and is supposed to be in the 70s this weekend (lows mid 40s). Next week upper 50s (lows upper 30s). I guess we're fighting the spring mountain runoff (at a toasty temperature of "just above freezing") against the warmer air temps (which aren't THAT warm yet). In the end, it's not enough to warm the lake just yet.
Hard to find reliable sources of information about lake temperatures. I'm curious as to the temps of other lakes in the area. The river is super crazy right now with runoff (great for crazy kayakers!), but according to the water level charts, everything has dropped from the peak water levels in March. Maybe that means the runoff isn't affecting water temps as much as I think...

The Knot test: put on the wetsuit, start walking out into the water.
If the water hits your belly and you just wanna scream, walk back out of the water, take off wetsuit, go home and drink warm things and cuddle on the couch.
(and if it gets too cold to tolerate before you're in up to your belly, you might need to stop for a latte on the way home, too!
)
