Ice-In 2012-13

Bear Island South · 01-23-2013, 09:59 AM

Is this the same open water seen here that Ishoot is seeing from Welch?

That picture has a date of Jan. 13. Is that accurate?

23 JAN 13...I believe is JAN 23, 2013

I read it wrong, Thanks. It is difficult to see in the image, but I think you may be correct. An image from Lincoln Park and Glendale docks would help. Also no wind would really help.

The picture is from Gunstock Acres Cam, picture from yesterday shows ice.

Amazing that it opened up with below zero temps.

It appears that this is the normal section of open water that is always last to freeze on the lake even after the broads. This section would be in front of Belknap Point / Lincoln Park area and extend all the way out to Welch. The Glendale dock area is completely frozen well past Lockes island so a picture there would not help as this area can't be seen from there. A pic from Lincoln Park would show it clearly.

Sorry guys, I accidentally dropped a Hot Pocket in the lake by the Glendale docks yesterday. Anyone who has ever eaten a Hot Pocket knows that they initially have the stored heat capacity of a small nuclear reaction, which is immediately released once you break the outer crust. That must've been what caused the ice to melt. Fortunately, it should cool down in about 72 hours and then the ice might re-form.

My apologies.

Is this shot from a web cam? Can you share the url? Great shot!

upthesaukee · 01-24-2013, 08:25 AM

IG, earlier in this thread, or another one, Ishoot308 said it looks toward Locke's Island and Belknap Point..

Just happened to remember that.

Island Girl · 01-24-2013, 08:29 AM

Thanks Uppy,

So now the question is the open area just on that end of Welch's? Anyone, anyone..... any retired people willing to take a ride to Gilford to take some pics for us. Lincoln Park has a great view of Welch's and the lake on the west and south sides on the island. (pardon if I get the navigation wrong)

A pic from Ames Farm would also be nice... Come on folks, it is a lovely day for a ride with your camera.

IG, who is 2 hours away and needing a lake fix!

upthesaukee · 01-24-2013, 08:34 AM

It is -5, up from -6 overnight, and feels like -17!!!!!

Island Girl · 01-24-2013, 08:36 AM

Good day to read, in front of the wood stove..... I, on the other hand, am sitting in my office at work staring at four screens and a to-do list a mile long. I point and click for a living!

The webcams are on one screen, refreshing every few minutes.... my lifeline.

I'll stop at Lincoln Park early afternoon, after it warms up to above zero.

Looks like a good section still open...here is the link, it can also be found on the Weirs Cam site.

Also, see the Modis site, from yesterday it looks like open water extends from Welch Is. over to Long Is.

This is great. It shows the extent of the open water around Welch's. It appears that the Broads itself is iced over.

The satellite image is deceiving. It is hard to tell if the dark areas are black ice or open water.

Is anyone here from Wolfeboro Neck or the broadside of Tuftonboro. It would be great to have cams, or at least pictures from there.

Again thanks to those posting pictures of the lake that the cams so not cover.

Looking between Welch and Round and then back toward ishoot308's web cam.

Island Girl · 01-24-2013, 01:17 PM

Does the open water go much further to the right of your lower picture?

Thanks so much for posting.

That open water patch goes a little way further, you can see the end in KarmaGirl's 2nd photo.

Also there is a thinner strip of open water arcing from near Ellacoya to the southern tip of Welch, partially visible in KarmaGirl's 2nd photo.
