I know the water is still freezing over on some nights. Has anyone been in the open water or have any temperature readings?

Good question! Any plungers yet (other than Nuckleheads)? I was thinking Stiles,Upper Mystic or even Walden may be shallow enough to warrant sticking more than a toe in soon.

With my first triathlon of the season a little less than three weeks away I squeezed into my wetsuit ( an 8 min process) and took an cold shower.... Then creating a monster... Who proceeded to shed wet suit drive to spectacle pond squeeze back into my wetsuit and jump into the pond.... Which until my face hit the water was much much warmer than I expected....
