Building a thermistor array to leave under the ice for the winter to look at cold stratification of the lake over the winter. Using an adafruit datalogger and 10K thermistors from adadfruit, I have a short string of three thermistors which will be placed in the lake next week hopefully.
String is complete for testing - here are the values being logged to the SD card for 3 thermistors at three depths (currently sitting in the workshop so values are in the 20s).

arduino xbee temperature sensor - UPDATE
Been a long time since I looked at this project. Using Tom Igoe's Making Things Talk book, I got an Xbee with an attached potentiometer to send ADC data to an XBee attached to a PC.
Then the data was parsed in processing to plot a dual bar graph of sensor value (ADC) and signal strength.

The drioids.it XBee breakout board can be powered by up to 12V (on-board voltage regulator), and also has outputs for 3.3V.
To run a temp.sensor or other sensors will probably require a separate 5V circuit. The current circuit has the pot connected to AD0 (PIN 22) of the XBee, so could feasibily attach sensors to AD1,2,3 (all at 3.3 V).
