Does anyone have any experience on the difference between the actual temperatures at Page Airport and what the actual temperature on the lake itself?
We are fall and spring houseboaters and in the past have been guided by some advice I was given years ago that the first hard freeze temperature on the lake is usually around December 1. 2020 is a year like no other. I winterized in the nick of time. But we will be back for Thanksgiving and will have to do it all over again.
Cheers, Kilojuliett
 
The lake water is like a big radiator also, controlling the air temps somewhat, especially close to the surface of the water. Chuck
 
Wednesday of this week, near WalMart in Page, it was 28F at 8AM, it was still 28F leaving Maverick, but arriving at Wahweap, it was 37F. We drove straight there; yes, time was passing, but there was no change from my house to the gas station, including all the time spent getting gas. I would assume you could see 8-10F higher temps on the water, sometimes.
 
Thanks Mrs. BigDogGuy, Headed up for a week around Thanksgiving. Usually we go straight up lake but we will stay around Wahweap this time. Going to make a point of comparing actual overnight lows on the water vs. Page airport. I thought it was perhaps 3 degree difference but if it is higher then that I will be happy.
