It does make you wonder...
This is the first year in many that I've been able to spend a significant amount of time at the lake at this time of year. It does seem that the water is significantly calmer most of the time.
I assume it is a combination of several factors. Number 1 is probably the lack of boat and human activity on the water. I'm sure that CLA could give us a weather analysis that shows that the winds are either calmer or different (or both) at this time of year. And I do wonder if the increasing density of the water due to temperature has anything to do with it.
What I can say is that the lake is beautiful any time of year. This morning when I got up, the water was dead calm, mirroring the mountains and shoreline above, mist hovered over the low lands and valleys, and the sunrise was adding a pink, blue, purple hue to the whole scene. It was beautiful... and unfortunately I didn't have my camera.
