Official 2010 Ice-Out Thread

Slickcraft · 03-24-2010, 09:06 AM

There is still some ice in the north end of Alton Bay as viewed this morning from the scenic overlook looking south, 1st photo. Hopefully it is not "ice nine".

Driving north from the overlook, no ice in view at: Ames Farm, Ellacoya, Belknap point and Glendale.

The Slickcraft has been lowered into the water in the covered slip at Fay's but not started yet. Will wait for less wind and a warmer day to make the trip out to Welch.

Watch out for floating debris on the lake. Several docks got damaged on Welch as in the 2nd photo taken on 22 Feb 2010. There will be a lot of junk floating around.

The ice in upper Alton Bay as reported this morning is now gone; a victim of this west north west wind.

At this point in past years the NW wind has pushed ice over to the entrance of Wolfeboro bay delaying official ice out a day or two. We will have to see what Dave Emerson has to report.
