In the last 3 hours of daylight yesterday, a lead opened up between Black Cat Shoals and Hull Island. The resulting berg began drifting toward the shore of Black Cat Island on the southeasterly wind of the day. Watch this lead continue to open today. The ice at the end of yesterday was noticeably gray compared to the white color it had at the beginning of the day.

For the second day in a row, most locations away from the lake got warm, including Laconia at 73, Concord at 75, Fryeburg/North Conway at 71, and Lebanon at 81. Black Cat WeatherCam reached 65 for a few minutes before the lake breeze knocked it back to around 50. This 20+ degree temperature difference between the lake and the surrounding area represents a lot of heat absorbed by the ice once again.
