I've got a backlog of trip reports to post (!), but in the meantime, check out this article:
https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/how-climat ... ada-lakes/
The first two paragraphs:
"Scientists at the University of California, Davis, are taking the temperature — and other measurements — of lakes of all sizes and shapes throughout the mountains of California to see how climate change is affecting them and what, perhaps, can be done about it.
A study published this month in the journal Limnology and Oceanography Letters shows that, despite rapidly warming air temperatures, spring snowpack is the biggest predictor of summer warming in small Sierra Nevada lakes."
