Moss Lake Water Temperatures

I asked around about winter water temperatures for Moss Lake. I was pointed to Newt Henson at the Water Treatment plant. Here's what he sent me for temperatures read from 5 ft or 15 ft depths where their intakes are located:

Avg Low High
11/07 59 54 66
12/07 52 50 54
01/08 46 45 54
02/08 46 45 46
03/08 52 46 54
04/08 59 54 61
05/08 66 61 72
06/08 79 72 81
07/08 82 79 84
08/08 84 81 86
09/08 79 72 82
10/08 68 61 72

He said the coldest they've measured was 39 degrees.

(Much bigger) Lake Norman temperatures are here. Looks like it's warmer there.
