Baller cougfan Posted May 7, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2020 The Wednesday night crew kicked off our Bow lake season today. Air 65 water 56. Beautiful sunny day a little windy at times but overall good conditions. Finished off the night with dinner of @Rednucleus famous egg casserole my augratin potatoes Ken’s assortment of fruit and 3lbs of bacon and Doug’s bloody Mary’s and topped it all off with homemade bacon maple ice cream. What a great way to start the season! Many more Wednesday’s to ski eat and enjoy each other ‘s company to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jercrane Posted May 7, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2020 We've been stuck at lake temp of 53 for 2+ weeks. Hoping next week we get the breakthrough and start the warming trend. Ironically I've had the most early season skiing I've ever had this year. Drysuit has been put through the paces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cougfan Posted May 9, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 9, 2020 The Wednesday night crew was back at it last night on Big lake minus @Rednucleus ☹️ Going to ski this am and Sunday am also. Have a friend who lives on the lake and let’s us use his dock and this weekend his boat lift also as his boat is in the shop getting a stereo upgrade? super good conditions with water 59 and air in the 70’s for the weekend.

Baller Mtea Posted May 9, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not sure of the water temp here at Deep Creek Lake but it was 20 degrees last night. We usually start skiing on Memorial Day so will go from snow to spray in two weeks. A record at least for me. Here’s a photo from this morning.

Baller 2Valve Posted May 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 17, 2020 Water @59.9F. So with a 41F overnight air temp, combine those to put it over 100, which meets my threshold for taking a set. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted May 19, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 19, 2020 Our lake temp is perfect, but it’s too low to ski. It’s a solid 4 feet below where it should be. We’re in a pretty severe drought right now. We’ve had to go back to public water skiing the river course with the jet skiers and tubers ripping out our buoys every week. With broken boats and more time spent fixing the course than skiing, I’ve skied less this spring than in the past 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain to start the evening but after the first set no more with a few sun breaks. Really pleasant night to ski. We had our annual seafood boil for dinner topped off with rhubarb ice cream.

Baller Mtea Posted May 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2020 Back at Deep Creek Lake in western MD we have experienced a sharp warming trend. First outing on May 23 water was 54 and the air was 53. No snow for two weeks now. Did fine with a shorty wetsuit. Had some sunny weather and water temp May 25 was 56 and the air hit 70. Today at 8 AM water was 59. It hit 77 in the air today so I’m hoping the water breaks 60 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bojans Posted May 28, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 28, 2020 Our lake is surprisingly warm at 74 in N Illinois. Unfortunately our water level is up about 2 feet over the normal level making for bad rollers and the need to add protection around walk ways and patios down on the water.
