Someone told me that the average is Jan. 21st. So, this is earlier than normal. Although, I can remember walking out onto Wolfeboro Bay to watch the New Years fireworks before. So, that must have been really early.

Wolfeboro Bay along with most other bays are almost always safely frozen by New Years.It's the rest of the open areas of the lake that average a late January ice-in.

I agree with Wolfeboro Bay often being frozen in by New Years. We use to
try to ice skate every New Years.

The # One concern is to keep all safe out on the ice... Some forget about the inherent dangers to and go out there in the first place.
A point of interest is that most of us survivors into "The Oldies Club" ( if you will ) took the advise of our predecessors...
Now, in doing so, us retirees get 10 more Brain Cramps Per Month!

... NO TAXES AND ABSOLUTELY FREE...

A great video for ice safety can be seen here;

Three trucks park side by side on 7" of ice, when the ice started to crack two made it off and one sank, just the plow showing.
