Official 2016 Ice-Out Thread

MAXUM · 03-09-2016, 08:21 AM

Hopefully we will see lots of changes out there today, it's warm out!

The ice-out page on NHBoat.com from Silver Sands Marina is online for 2016. The "ole man of the lake" is predicting a March 16th ice-out.

Thanks Janet, I have put the link on my webcams page so you all can watch ice-out.

The ice is getting very dark; the ice candles have formed and solar heat melt from the bottom is on the way. Need lots of direct sun.

Lots of Harley's on the road, mine has 600' of gravel mud season between it and the road. Looks like I'll have to get an estimate for paving.

The 2016 stickers are on the Eastern and the slip below it has melted. Just this little problem of 1.5 miles of ice between it and Welch. Now if IG, being in charge of ice out, could tap the throttle forward a bit more.

Things are opening up near Akwa as well:

WOW! Today did some significant damage to the ice. With the continued warm weather and tons of rain for tomorrow this could be EPIC!

I predicted March 16th in the ice-out contest also!

March 13

Either way, we are in for an early start to the season always a good thing especially after the winter that wasn't.

DoTheMath · 03-10-2016, 09:04 AM

It's interesting looking at the forecast for the rest of the month...

I'm going with March 28th, 1:17 pm.

A year ago we were discussing record late ice out. What a difference a year makes.

Could this be a year in which the ice just sinks and disappears instead of moving down the lake in large icebergs that tear docks apart?

I don't see any outrageous wind in the forecast for the next week.

Saturday looks pretty windy. Ice will probably "go out" then. my guess was WAY late (3/26).
