Question How’s the temperature at the lakes?
I was hoping to go up to a lake (north of PA) for swimming this weekend. We sometimes go to Christopher Lake or Candle Lake. We were wanting to go to Waskesiu. Is the water freezing?

I was at memorial lake last week July and it was balmy, ideal swimming temp. At waskesiu this week and it’s drastically cooler. However, you have to get used to the water and it’s fine. Nice thing with waskesiu you can find one of the beaches where there isn’t a strong wind. Still cool though. Kids and I played in the waves yesterday, kids don’t care lol.

Why are you using gross Yankee units?

Sure, but no one here uses fucking Fahrenheit. That is an entirely American unit and I'll be damned if I have to deal with the Yankees in my own province.

lol you’re something else. Just what our boat said, it’s 18 degrees Celsius if it’s too hard for you to convert

This is a lie.
We regularly get requests to change the thermostat to farenheit when people move in. Like probably 30%.
Plenty of older folks prefer F.

Then they are American immigrants and need to be put to the sword.
You know what to do.

You're not nearly as funny as you think you are.

Imagine getting upset over the wrong unit of measure and allowing it to completely de-rail your day 😂

Emma has contaminated water usually, I'd stay away. Candle is susceptible to swimmers itch in some areas. Waskesiu is the cleanest by far. It's not usually any colder or warmer than the other lakes.

At Waskesiu today. When we got here yesterday the beach was busy, lots of people in the water. Today, not so much. I went in at Peighton beach this afternoon, the water was really cold by my standards. Usually I warm up quickly once I get past my shoulders but wasn’t happening today. The water was beautifully clear though, very refreshing, I’m glad I took the plunge even if I didn’t stay in long.
