Here in the far south of Canada, the Great Lakes will bottom out at 42f in the deep summer.

So, what...you believe the maps that show Alaska as a small island off the coast of California? The reality is that it is much of the continent as any other state except Hawaii.If we're talking Continental USA...
That would be annoying. I'd prefer an air temp closer to 42F too.Crater Lake, Oregon (national park service page here) is not the coldest lake (it is the deepest in the US), but when I dove it this July the water was 42F at the surface, with air temp over 100.
The Great Lakes are a prime example of this in action.
0F under water? I kinda seriously doubt that as thats -17 celcius and unless youre diving in liquid gas that would pretty much make it solid?
Up here in Canada Les Escumis I dove in 35F and have heard the Empress of Ireland can go below 32F Lake Ontario at around 100ft is always around 42F to 45F even in mid summer, although this does not come close to Mr.X at 0F or colder ;-}
