Ice-out Watch 2005

"Only a cartopper?"

Hey...that cartopper is on the lake -- and we'll get another look at another sunny Lake Winnipesaukee today!

Over the square mile overlooked here, the ice DID NOT turn white last night -- as it had the previous night -- with comparable temperatures.

The open water along the shoreline re-froze, as my bubblers have been off for two weeks, but should be clear -- or fragile enough -- later today for another tour.

Wind opened the open-water gap to the ice by ten feet or more.

It's always The Wind -- the wild card in this "Ice-Out" game.

Keep hitting! Keep hitting!

You know what? A photo of your kayak on the ice would speak volumes at PhotoPost!

Was up this weekend. The ice turns gray everyday and white again at night. The ice is still pretty thick up in the Tuftonboro/Moultonboro area. You can walk on it no prob right off twenty mile beach Sat. Mirror lake is Black and looks like it will go this week for sure. Winni will still take some time.
