Default Smith Cove?

How is Smith Cove/Glendale coming along? The cam has not been updated since Thursday. How about out towards Mark and Mink?

Default More pictures needed

OK folks... get out there with your cameras... we need updated pictures of the bays..Alton Bay, Wolfeboro Bay, Moultonboro Bay, Paugus Bay, Meredith Bay... Minge Cove..

Someone needs to go up to Akwa Vista and take a few shots..

I am sort of stuck out here on the island (poor me!) with DBA, etc. It is too windy to come out and look for ice.. but the wind must be doing something to the remaining ice.

It is up to all of you..

Get up, get out and get on with it... come on Upthesaukee... we need an update...

As you were posting this, I was in Levey Park taking a picture of the bay.

Bear Islander, see the attached link of Alton Bay pictures, and that would be one of the things stopping the declaration. There is ice from about a quarter mile or less N of Sandy Point down to the bandstand. Most of it is big chunks that will be going bye bye real quick.

here's the link to see the latest from "Baywatch" Alton Bay style...too cold for those bikinis!

Where is the ice?

I have checked all the cams and can find the ice. Did it all blow down to Wolfeboro?

Default Alton Bay

The Bay seems clear except for a section down by Sandy Point. A huge change since yesterday.
Any guesses as to when official "ice out" will be called?
How is Center Harbor?

It will be called when the Mount would be able to make its regular route. I was wondering where the hold up is?

As of yesterday afternoon Fay's Boat Yard docks, Smith Cove and Glendale were open. Out towards the 40 Islands had ice but with the wind I would expect a lot of it may be gone today.

RG I was not too far behind you yesterday. I stopped at Peppers at about 2:00. Had a great WP's steak sub. Thanks Pepper.

My boating season will start very soon with all this wind breaking up the ice.

Default Lees Mills

Only small amounts left in coves as of Saturday PM
First and second bays out and partial towards Greens Basin.
Too many things to do on first trip to venture far. I have a couple of new pictures in the PhotoPost from Satruday.
But watch out, the water is late fall low.
Need a rainy April to bring out the May boats.

Default Alton Bay Rocks!!!!! Check it out

After being really good and having a chicken Caesar Salad at the house, we decided to wash it down with some ice cream at Shibley's, and a good reason to check the ice out one more time. This morning there was ice outside Sandy Point, and now :



But down by the Mount Washington dock :



But after eating ice cream :



While we were eating our ice cream right by the dock, we could literally see the ice moving past the dock. There is ice on the far side of the bay from about abeam the markers off Back Bay bridge, but there is plenty of open water on the west side of the bay..

Not that I am the authority, but I can make a really good case for ice out in Alton Bay, at least!

Talking Sleepers Island

Yipeeee! Got to Sleepers today. Little windy but so nice to be there. No problems this year with pipes. Deck furniture is out and ready for summer.
Went out of West Alton Marina. It is all open. Can't wait to get back.

Default Ice Out Update

Went over to Mink on Saturday Morning. Mostly clear from Glendale north but had to go around the east side of Round Island and push through a couple of ice-flows. That's why we have work boats.... The area around Timber, Mark and the West side of Mink were still locked up with large amounts of punk ice/slush. The wind really kicked up hard last night/today -- not so great for fishing, but it did move the ice out. This morning you could still see white over to the north (Moultonborough), but by early PM is seemed clear. Everything is now completely open from Shep Brown's east along the south side of Bear well into the Broads. Only protected coves have any remnants of ice. Official ice-out must be imminent!

Be aware that the lake level is still low and there are a lot of branches/debris drifting around. Also, my impression from trolling around is that ice damage to permanent docks appears generally worse than usual. The east side of Mink, for example, has three docks that have sustained material damage, including one that is essentially a total loss. Saw some banged up docks over on the south side of Bear today too.

Mount Washington cleared by noon, giving us our first clear view as a kick-off to our earliest beginning season ever!

Red face Forgot the camera

What Ice? I forgot my camera but it doesn't matter because there was NO ice to photograph. I was in these areas: Meredith, Center Harbor, Long Island, Harilla Landing, Akwa Vista, Weirs beach, Gilford, Silver Sands. The only shred of ice I saw was all locked in at Trexlers Marina and that was only because of the HEAVY winds that pushed all that ice into the cove. Other than that almost 90% + of the lake looked passable by boat. Ice-Out should be any day now.
