Ice-in Watch 2006

[nhlakelover]

I know we're all hoping and waiting for cold and ice. I'm coming up next weekend for the Derby (that I see has been postponed). However, I want you all to know that I have a student in PA. using this website as the basis for his science project. He's been using the daily photo from Alton, saving the aerial photos, using the lake temp chart and daily weather temps along with a few other links from here to keep a journal and predict when the lake will freeze. He has predicted Feb 10th and I hope he is right!! Anyway, I want to thank all of you for your comments and enthusiasm because he has only seen the lake through my pictures and he has more of a feeling of the importance of the lake freezing through all of you! Thanks... and by the way, it's 58 degrees and raining here, haven't seen snow or ice since December!

Well, between todays weather and the dock bubblers running 24/7 here, there may not be any ice left at the Weirs come this weekend. I went down to the lake last night and the open water by the peir and docks is getting bigger and bigger.

And Pepper, let me 2nd you opening up again soon, Gilford House is getting old....

GravyBoat and WeirsGuy -just a short while now! Should be somewhere in the last two weeks of March, unless Mother Nature decides to send us a few late winter blizzards and nor'easters. That would push it back a week or two.

Thanks for asking - it's nice to know we've been missed.
