I haven't seen ice moving quickly out of the west alton cam either....are those sheets being protected by the shoreline or are they moving also?
Does anyone know if West alton marina is open (not iced it)?

Hi Mike;
I can't answer all your questions but I can tell you that last night and most of the day today the wind has been blowing in a north-westerly direction. I watched a lot of ice move from the rattlesnake area across the broads towards Governors.
As I look out over the broads right now from Locke's island all the way as far as I can see and at least to diamond island the lake is ice free. I haven't seen any moving ice in a couple hours now. I do not believe there are any more "ice sheets" in the broads or around Welch, whatever was there has either melted or been blown into slush.
Glendale docks are wide open and Smith cove was slightly locked in with slush two hours ago. I would assume it's all clear now. Fay's has started dropping boats in the water as of yesterday and put mine in so I am hoping to get a line wet sometime this weekend.
I do not know about West Alton but I may take a ride in that direction a little later on and will stop by and check for you.
Hope this helps;
Dan
