Careful! An article in tday's paper has this statement:

"Center Harbor Fire Chief John Schlemmer said the bobhouses that fisherman put out last week have all been brought back to shore."

was over on the north end of the lake this afternoon looks pretty safe. There is a bunch of bob houses from cow island all the way over to melvin village down to lees mills.

We need the wind to calm down, it looks (via the web cams) that except for the broads, the ice is forming nicely.

Wind, wind, go away...........

The forecasters say the wind will be with us for a while. Does anyone know if the ice in any of the coves or bays is thick enough/safe yet for snowmobiling?

There were more bob houses on Alton Bay this morning along with a parked SUV and a snowmobile running around. Further north at the transition from bay to broads there also was a transition from ice to open water. Safe enough on the lower bay? Well apparently for some but I am not going out there yet myself.

Looking at the lake today from the top of Gunstock, it was beautiful. However, the broads are wide open and that is a huge part of the lake!

There is a long way to go for the ice outside of the bays. From Governors Island to the mouth of Alton Bay to the entrance of Wolfboro Bay, it is water. We need the wind to drop and we need it to get colder than it has been the last few days for the ice to grow.

The good news is the bays have locked up and the thickness is to the point where the wind is no longer a factor for most of that ice.

Looking at Snake Eyes this morning....looks like the Broads are "Caught", ...Nice Black Ice.

NB

EDIT: 11:33 AM Now it's snowing.. some of the ice is wet.

It looks like there is still some open water near Welch Island. The wind is calm right now... let's hope that continues for a while longer so the rest of the broads can solidify.

Yay!!!!!
