How about a water temperature thread?

(roughrivermike)

Ok, it's march 2nd and it has been a bad winter. Many of us will be heading down south this spring for a little water time. I was wondering how difficult it would be to have a weekly or semi-weekly report on WW that would let us know what the water temps are at some of our favorite destinations.
If we could get reports from friends in Orlando, Tampa, Texas, etc. I think that would be great! We would need some volunteers to supply the info, but I'm sure that if I were there I would be happy to do so. Maybe Kat Laird in Orlando?

What does everyone think?

Houston, Texas. Lake Houston and the river that feeds it is hovering around 50-52 right now. Very cold for this time of the year.

I think galveston bay waters are in the low 50's too.

This is just going to depress me. There were 3 trucks driving on my home lake last weekend.

yea this winter has been extremely cold in my region, not good for the start of riding season...still hoping to get out in a week or two

Blacksburg, VA-38 deg

Im shocked that several FL locations are still in the 50s! Even low 50s...crazy
