Tamworth is too far west of those great rain-makers, the Ossipee Mountains.
At most sundowns late last week, showers rained on the southern slopes of the Ossipees.
Most of that runoff goes directly to the Melvin River, and then to Lake Winnipesaukee.
In the calm of this morning's lake surface, I see that my dock is once more IN the lake, rather than above it. Within a stone's throw, two new docks have floating pieces secured only by conduit, and have sunk below the surface
again.
There doesn't seem to be any uniform observance of this new lakewide NWZ ruling—obviously an experiment gone wrong: There are boats 1200' off shore going slightly above NW, and some others close to shore going at top speed! Where the lake narrows so that
no boat can be 600' offshore, nobody slows. (
Somebody yesterday had an airhorn at that location, and used it—a lot!).
Because there are so few boats on the lake, "anything goes"?
