Mt. Storm, WV this weekend

Anyone going to be at Mt. Storm lake diving this weekend. It sounds like the powerplant is only running @ 50% so the water wont be as warm as usual but will still be warmer then most lakes in the area at this time. I dove Deep Creek last night and at 21' (the max depth I hit since they dropped the lake) it was 46 degrees.

Hey Guys,

I dove today, viz was pretty bad above 50' since there were tons of students there. Water temp was 64 degrees and below 50' things weren't too bad 15'+ viz if you were willing to dive deep.

What are the temps in the winter with all the stacks pumping?

Emc,

Last winter we dove storm in December and it was 65-68 and then again in Feb. and it was still about 61-62. I didn't see it dip much below 60 all winter long.
