I'm kinda scratching my head on this....how do they get 32.5 degree temps at this time of year on the surface?

I think sometimes rain and cloudy weather plays games with the satellites. Sends back a false reading. But anyone who is out west this morning can comfirm or refute the temps.

That map is mostly useless unless a cloudless sky. It measures via satellite heat signature.

I wasn't aware of the cloud interference.. You must be right.. I posted to get feedback for peeps out by Oswego..It seemed odd to me too.. I guess when it's clear it works ok..

absolutely correct! Cloud cover distorts the information.

Just a theory but there were NE winds yesterday upwelling the lake and being that the warm water is at the west end it might be close cause that happened last week with the blow as well.

[Sk8man]

I don't doubt the warm water being pushed west but my understanding is that the coldest water to be found at this point in the season is that which is the densest and pretty much on bottom that would be at the 39 degree mark.

Yah I heard there was 44* just outside outlet at Irondequoit from the last east blow but like I said I heard and don't know cause I don't waste my time when it turns iver

I had 82 degrees for a surface temp yesterday on 2 different fish finders and my fishhawk.  I am another vote for the clouds.
