Ice

I was reading for Laconia 10-15mph winds today through Tuesday with 25-35 mph gusts

I just went for my first boat ride of the season to make sure my motors and fishing equipment were all working well.

Launched at Glendale….Lots of open water and made it half way to Welch before the ice showed up. From Glendale there is open water up Belknap Point to the Belknap Point Hotel and slightly beyond. Open water out beyond and North of Lockes Island about half way to Round Island. Heading West out of Glendale you can’t go far as the ice is still there as well as Saunders Bay. Had to bust through a tiny bit of ice in Smith cove to get to my slip but that should be all gone today.

And so it begins!

This was taken Sunday afternoon from Spring Haven. A panoramic view of the ice. It's almost there.

Alton Bay is passable from end to end. The remnants left can be skirted around and should disappear in the next day or two.

With respect to "ice out", just remember that 'Father Time' and 'Mother Nature' are two immutable forces that no one has (ever) been able to outlive nor outwit.

There is more ice visible from Belknap Point this morning than there was yesterday. It is drifting down from the NW. 17 to 18 mph WNW wind forecast for overnight.
