Ice Conditions

Does anyone know where that sled went through (On Winnisquam) last weekend? Only place I see a problem is near mosquito bridge and southern end of lake.

It was about 300 yards off shore of the Winnisquam Beach resort launch ramp

WOO HOO!!! If you look REAL close at the left side of the frame about 3/4 of the way through the time lapse you can see the humble beginnings of ICE OUT 2014! I see it....really I do...it's there.

Oh I need some relief from this cold in the worst way and the cam gave me a little hope today. I hear on WMUR that we are headed for single digits again tonight, so the lake giveth and the lake taketh away.

I need to be sitting on the Breeze in front of the swim line at Silver Sands real soon or I'm going to need a padded room!! Bring on ICE OUT!!!!

The Breeze
Wave 'cuz I'll be wavin' back

While we will have some more cold weather, I would guess that the ice thickness is at its maximum now. Has anyone measured the thickness recently?

I have drilled holes from 26 to 32 inches thick this past week. Black cat Island out by three mile is one of the places I was so its going to be a long time till ice out !

The long range is rather chilly through early April. Seems like a good bet we have an ice out post 4/18 or so unless we really warm up in April.

The way the season is going I will say ice out will be at the end of April or the begging of May. We took the truck from Center Harbor to Alton Bay across the lake Saturday ! first time I've done that in years.

Wow! We may have to delay our flight to MHT this year.

From the looks of what I am seeing on my webcams it appears that the ice is retreating slowly. Will try and post a couple of pics later today.

Attached are pics taken on 03/07 and another taken today 03/11

I love the "think Spring" sign and daffodils on the Island Princess Cam. Wish they were real daffodils.

meredith weekender · 03-26-2014, 12:33 PM

Just checked the Lakeport Dam Data Phone and found out that the lake temp is now at 36 degrees. Seems that we may be headed in the right direction.

But, according to today's Union Leader, Dave Emerson hasn't seen the retreat yet. Climate warming, climate cooling, climate change?

Yeah, someone sneaked up to the island and put the flowers and the sign up where they could be seen

It was not us - have never been to the island during the winter. It is funny.
