If you look at today's report from from the Army Corps, the water temp is now 51. That is up from a low of 47 last week and 44 on Jan. 8. This is not the surface temp--it is about 7-9 feet down in the water column taken at the dam. In the table at the bottom, the water temp is the right-hand column. Let's hope the temp's just keep on coming up.
