He's definitely not an "outstanding photographer", but thanks anyway!!

One additional note ... from IG's Ice-Out page you can click on the West Alton Digi-Cam picture and view the sequence of daily photos.

Some folks are waiting for "Ice-Out".

Others are waiting for "Ice-Off":

Here's a couple from Meredith Bay late this morning. The first is from the town docks, the second one is from the park. The ice is dark grey to black and there are a lot of big cracks starting to show. The last one is from Lili's dock in Paugus Bay. I'll try to keep up with the progress. If anyone has any suggestions for other vantage points, let me know.

Wow, that's an awesome shot, makes me thirsty for spring!

Where & when on Winni (or the Lakes region) was this shot taken?

Bon apetit!

OK, all you ice out experts, can we still really be weeks away from ice out with all that dark ice?? It looks like the heavy rain has accelerated the process.

Thanks for the photos PBR! It's wonderful to see the ice melting away. It's definitely helping to build excitement of ice-out.
With all the webcams and now different vantage shots, we are getting spoiled.
Hopefully there will be lots of warm sunny days in our future.

As the resident ice expert, I can tell you that my Ice-Out guess is April 5th.

In any case, three snowmobiles went by here yesterday, and two ATVs. (One snowmobiler quickly returned, maybe for his helmet).

Are you kidding me? That many sailboats in one place on Winnipesaukee? I'll give you still another photographic clue:

APS, you might want to start throwing rocks, boiling the water, or churning the water, because I doubt you'll get your guess...however, if you want to wait oh say 12 days, my ice out guess is April 16. . . (Crosses fingers)

CAN'T WAIT!!!
