Ice
 
Ice out not declared yet. Most likely tomorrow.

winniboy 03-22-2012 08:02 PM

could be tomorrow, high temps, 30 mph winds, low humidity can lead to alot of ice being pushed around.. enough to clear it up some... if they fly tomorrow afternoon, i wouldn't rule out the possibility of a record

Yesterday at about 7-pm the area from south Bear Island to Mark-Timber-Governor's and Meredith neck was about 75% iced in with a slushy layer of slush ice.

As of 4-pm today, the same area was all ice free and all turned into liquid water.

What a difference a day can make.....

Snake Eyes does not want to wake up
 
It is lovely out here on the island. Snake Eyes is not powering on. I will troubleshoot in the morning. I think the motherboard may be zapped. It happened about three years ago.. I will take a real picture and put it in place of the January one.... I see people are toying with me. ;)

There ice along the shore of most pf the broads side of the island. Many breakwaters have snow. By some sort of luck we have no snow or ice.

I have not seen any debris... Such a gentle ice-out.

Tomorrow we will put in the water and move the deck furniture out... Since it is still March, it will probably snow next week!

It is good to be home again!

IG, That is great that you are out there in March. Just the other day I was looking at photos from when we opened the place in the spring of '99. I'm sure Charlie is smiling upon you today. Best wishes!

Snake Eyes Does Not Want To Wake Up
 
Not to worry IG. I'm sure once it gets a look at Ice Out tomorrow that it will fire off and come back to life!! :)
We all understand how an webCam can be finicky in an winter isolated area environment. At the same time though, we are very thankful to you for giving us a view! Daily visits to Snake Eyes has always been a favorite of ours!
Thanks To You,
Terry

IG, the external power supply on my NetCam died a few years ago. Maybe it's just that.

Can anyone find ice?
 
I don't think that any of the cams show any ice. So, ice out should be sometime this morning.

RIA Ramp ice?
 
Hi everyone,

Has anyone seen if the RIA Ramp still has ice at the bottom or not?

If the wind is low enough we'll be on Rattlesnake tonight.

Thanks :)

Ice Out????
 
Well???? The suspense is killing me! After such a warm day on Thursday, is there still ice out there?

mhtranger 03-23-2012 08:17 AM

I was dropping my boat at the house in Moultonborough and Meredith and Center Horbor was clear but Moultonborough bay by Balmoral still had a bunch of ice. Also Lees mills had a lot of ice. I know they don't affect ICE OUT but just my .02 worth.

hampfarms 03-23-2012 08:46 AM

The ice-out posted above says Wednesday the 22nd but Wednesday was the 21st. Can somebody tell me where I can find official ice-out day and time?

DRH 03-23-2012 09:05 AM

I haven't found any official announcement that ice-out has been declared yet.

The announcement will be posted here on the forum and on the homepage of this site as soon as I find out.

Emerson Aviation makes the Ice-Out call and they post updates on their Facebook page. At about 9:45 they posted that they were going up for another look.

When I got home from work last night my sons said they had heard on NECN that Ice out was declared.
I can't confirm it though.
I consider ice out to be the first day I can get to my camp on Sleeper which was Tuesday. The rest is just details. Ha Ha

JPC 03-23-2012 09:19 AM

Oooops!
 
In post #234, yesterday, I indicated taht I saw Ice Out declared by WMUR. Well I went back to look and sure enough its there. HOWEVER, the date was March 24th 2010. I was so excited that ice was out that I didn't bother to look at the date. Sorry!

Traffic is through the roof this morning as you can tell by the slower loading times. I've never seen the server loads so high. Although there are lots of visitors on the forum 3 out of 4 hits today are going to the WeirsCAM.

Ice-Out week has always been the busiest week of the year on this site.

Ice 930 am 3/23/12
 
Just declared ice out 930 am

Island time
 
Going out to Ratlesnake this afternoon to open up and spend the first night of the season. Riding with nominees for the Darwin Awards; could be trouble!

All is right with the world!

AC2717 03-23-2012 10:29 AM

I hate you all that are heading to the lake this weekend!!!!!!!!:D

Will be heading to the Island tomorrow for a look, can't wait. Nothing like an Island visit to get right with the world again

Janet 03-23-2012 01:14 PM

Thanks!!!
 
Thanks to all who have posted pictures, ice and snow reports throughout this short winter season. It's been fun and you have made those of us who live far from the lake feel so much closer.

LadyJane 03-23-2012 01:28 PM

What she said. I am so happy for the folks who are going out there to the islands and to be on the lake this weekend. Enjoy, have fun and be safe !

Just got back from my first ride of the season. One word. Windy!!!

Very rough on the way out, almost flat on the way back 2 hours later. I saw 3other boats while I was out on the water, and a few docked at Glendale and in Smith Cove.

Lots of pinecones and blow downs to deal with.

Bear247 03-23-2012 02:59 PM

Very excited to be heading out to the Island tomorrow.

I drove around the north side of the lake today. No ice in Alton, Wolfeboro, The Basin, NineteenMile Bay, MelvinVillage, CenterHarbor, Meredith, or PaugusBay (as predicted). The only ice I could find was in TwentyMile Bay; About 2-3 acres.

There was the usual spectacular view at Abenaki Tower. Other than the snow on Gunstock, it looked like fall (no leaves).

Sorry for not letting the folks on Winni Forum know first hand that I did declare "Ice out" this morning at 0930 (930AM) March24th 2012. This goes in the record books as the earliest. It was a beautiful morning for it.
