I have seen waves on Lake Winnipesaukee in the 6 to 8 foot range. However, I never actually got out of the boat with a ruler to measure them.

... And, at these times there want no hurricanes in the area!
Irene's winds are projected to be in the 60 MPH range while passing through with her center being concentrated in the western boarder area between New Hampshire and Vermont. This is not good for the Lakes Region, as it will be in the strongest sustained wind area of the storm.
Again, be prepared and keep an eye on this one!
