Exactly. We call it "dome-ing" (Sp?). In our location on Lake Ontario (one of the great lakes) the water is much cooler than the land in the spring and early summer.
Interesting thing is the day that it happened, the dome-ing effect shouldn't have happened. Water temps and air temps were similar.
It's also not uncommon for us to see a windline on the water. Many times when we are stuck on the beach, we can see the sailboats out a mile or two in great wind.
