Drove up to Wolfeboro from Hooksett on 28. This was late yesterday afternoon. In town hooksett 28 bypass and 3/28 near Merchant's was flooded and closed. Have to take Rt 3A to get around that mess. 5 other detours were in place the rest of the way up, never seen anything like it. The flooding and washouts were of a magnitude I could never have imagined. It's pretty bad. It was possible to make it through, but be aware it'll take some time. The damage to roads is pretty extensive in places so even if they are not yet marked be very careful out there.

Lake levels are very high and this is causing with the help of the wind lots of ice flows and no doubt some waterfront damage. It was pretty nasty out there, but no kidding, there was one die hard out there fishing in Wolfeboro bay in a little 12 foot boat. Ya know I love to fish, but not that much. For all those that own waterfront property, I hope your place survived in one piece! There is a whole lot of areas which seem to have sustained some form of damage.
