She was in a bit of a snit this morning, greeting us with water plunging ten degrees colder than yesterday. Every year about this time we get a dose of this, usually it goes away in a few days. There is plenty of warm surface water out there, we need a wind shift to send it our way.
Speaking of plunging, the Great Lakes Plunge is next Sunday: http://www.greatlakeplunge.com
If you are participating and would like to car pool let me know. I know of at least two others, Jack Frost and his father (in-law?).

Greg and Ted (a.k.a The Patriarch and The Cap'n, a.k.a Dos Locos) will record their excellent Lake Michigan swim adventures here. We'll provide daily updates on lake conditions, and our plans for upcoming swims. In addition we'll write some observations, ramblings, rants, and wacko theories related to Lake Michigan swimming (or not).

aaaahhhh I see why the temps dipped--jack Frost showed up!
It's true....I was there in the AM and the water temperature was ice bucket cold.
My father-in-law and I will also be swimming the Great Lakes Plunge and would love a ride to Evanston that sunday morning.

The Great Lakes Plunge looks like a blast...unfortunately I am pre-booked with a yoga seminar "Intro to Tantra Studies."
