Very dramatic satellite image.
Time to fire up the boats and get 'em ready!!

Here's a live shot taken just now from my Skype cam looking across Wentworth Cove. The Governor's Island bridge is just to the left, Governor's Island is across the bay and Dockham Shores is just to the right. It appears that the ice flow is being blown into Saunders Bay. I'm hoping it doesn't blow back!

MODIS Today

You have to be sure to update the day in the upper left corner. Then scroll right to find our coast. Wicked cool.

Moultonborough Bay still has quite a bit of ice.

WinnipesaukeeCam shows that Alton Bay is doing well!

Still a lot of ice on Paugus Bay. The water is now up to the bottom of the docks.
Looking south towards Lakeport. Winds out of the east tomorrow could be bad news for west facing docks.

Some open water off of Akwa marina as well:

Similar reports from Merrymeeting Lake today. Everyone on the north/west sides of the lake reporting ice-out. Those of us on the south / east sides still seeing mostly ice and huge chunks being pushed up on rocks and breakwaters.

But I agree that once it moves and breaks like this, it goes quickly. A couple more days, despite the temps tonight.

What she said....

Tonight on NH Chronicle Erin declared ice out for "the state of NH"....guess she hasn't been up to the lake lately!!

Alton Bay was clear from the bridge to Sandy Point. A couple of hundred yards or so of ice and then clear to beyond Moose Island and over to Black Point. Broads were essentially clear from the west end of Rattlesnake as far as I could see. Round, Timber and the other islands heading out to the east side of Bear looked ice-locked still. Lots of wind up here today, with lots of white caps, pushing ice around. Fingers crossed for those who have docks where they have exposure to the wind and the ice. Good luck.

Looks like the wind has taken its toll in the cove....maybe by next weekend?
I think the channel between Meredith Neck and Bear will take some time.
