My understanding is that this is the official definition for ice in and ice out is the mount route open or not.

If this was the case, then "ice-in" should have been declared weeks ago.

I still do not think we have an official definition, although over the last ten years or so, it has been called when ice covers the entire lake.

I don't think we have an official definition either. There was never before such a thing. But then, the definition of ice out was not always when the Mount could make it's way to all it's ports either. Emerson Aviation didn't always fly around and declare ice out.

Imo,
Ice in = zero open water, the surface of the lake is shore to shore frozen.

Ice out = zero remaining ice, dive in.

According to Wikipedia, there appears to be misconceptions about even Ice-Out. So I would surmise that there is nothing definitive for Ice-In either!

IG, I don't see that same stream of water on the other end. But I can't imagine today is a good ice growing day.

Gee that's a cold looking picture.

I'm surprised to see so many leaves still on the trees.

Has anyone been crossing from Cattle to Bear?

As of this morning, there is a patch of open water off Oak Street in Laconia. Winnisquam usually freeze before Winnipesaukee.

The I S S airboat has been parked there, next to the dock and in the open water created by the water circulators for a couple weeks, and comes and goes out to Mark Island, so it's difficult to say how safe is the ice close to the floating dock there?

Looking to venture out of Brewster Beach over to Keniston Island this weekend. Any idea how the ice is about a mile south out of Wolfeboro Bay?

Its very early in the process but "some" darkish areas are visible in yesterdays satellite pic. Sebago is more pronounced.
