Lake Shadow Defined: The boundary between cooler and warmer air | RochesterFirst
Picture This: You’re on the shores of Lake Ontario and skies are completely sunny. Later on that day, you drive south on I-390 and notice an abundance of cumulus clouds suddenly hovering overhead. What gives? We call this effect a lake shadow, and it can produce a satellite image like this: Th..

A reader asks: “I hear you are also so deep & cold in the centre there are secrets down there.”
Yes.
Yes.

Unlike some of the other #bodiesofwater , I find I can be scary enough all by my lonesome without invoking the supernatural.

Cheryl Harrington @cheryl_cchA friend and I got lost while wading in Lake Ontario once. The fog rolled in so quickly and so dense … we didn't know whether we were going toward shore or into deeper water. Scary.09:18 AM - Feb 02, 2024

Thank you!! I’m sending you the very best water. The rest I’m splashing on the tourists.

Feeling frisky today with gale warnings up, no ice, and average temp of around 4°C/40°F; I’m a bit warmer than usual this year.

M Kaur @MkaurHow are all our #bodiesofwater doing? Anyone frozen over yet? @LakeLanier is freezing temps one of your MOs? Love to know what the average water temperature ranking is for all our lakes and estuaries and rivers.12:20 AM - Jan 13, 2024

Well, I don’t really have much of a choice there, but I don’t have to *like* everything that gets sent; maybe it’ll get caught in your ice booms 🤞🏼. If it does show up here (haven’t sensed it yet), given the longevity of the offending object, it’ll be @MightyStLawrence problem eventually anyway.

I suppose, but since lake effect snow may be the thing I’m most known for, I feel entitled to take some time to bask.

Lake Louise @LakeLouiseI know what you want to ask. Lake Louise, you're so beautiful. How is it you're still single?03:33 AM - Oct 14, 2023
Well, I'll admit my standards are incredibly high, but also, have you taken a look at the other #bodiesofwater ? I'm like Elizabeth Taylor in an ocean of Ernest Borgnines.

I don't know about the other #BodiesOfWater , but I've been told that I'm pretty darn gorgeous. And I was before the damn dam as well!

This seems more like something out of the @LakeLanier playbook, but at least they’re not here yet. The “vampire fish” on the other hand; hoo boy.

@sbuzz59 , I won’t be able to make this one, it’s tough for me to flow upstream, especially up and over Niagara Falls. And Zoom, well, just no, but I’m sure @LakeErie will make an appearance in some form. That said, I’ll be sure to make myself available if it ever gets scheduled in Toronto.

Lake Lanier @LakeLanierI'm so relieved you finally have a fan, I know how much the approval of others matters to your sense of self-worth. And look, you made it to number three on this list of most picturesque lakes in Canada behind Moraine Lake and @LakeOntario so that's something to celebrate.03:29 PM - Sep 13, 2023
