We're supposed to drop down around the freezing mark tonight with snow in
some areas of the province.
Water temp still a cool 35.1 F

I rely on the water temperature recorded one mile out and at the bottom of
the lake as it is a bit more reliable than surface temperatures. Lake Erie
is now 35F and will eventually warm to the low 70's by the 4th of July.

We have also had beautiful weather here over the past 2 days, with temps in
the 70's.

I don't know about the local water temp, but the air has been in the
mid 50's to low 60's at night, and highs of the mid 80's for the past
week. I think this weekend it's supposed to have 60 for a high Sunday,
but it IS still March, but warmer days are yet to come.

I'm ready for it!

Indeed. Our local paper reports the water temperature readings daily in the
weather section of the paper. The temps are taken at the bottom of the lake
at the "One Mile Crib".

Water surface temperatures to too easily modified by air temperatures.

Edit: Water surface temperatures *are* too easily modified by air
temperatures.
