The surface temperatures (in Celsius) for lakes Michigan, Tahoe and Caspian were recorded by NASA via satellite on a random number of days for each month starting from January of 1985 and ending on December of 2008. The daily measurements were recorded at either noon or midnight or both in a random fashion. For Lake Michigan, My one month forecast (95% interval) for January 2009 and the one year forecast for 2009 are 3 (2.6,3.8) and 12 (11,13.14) respectively.
