Going out to Ratlesnake this afternoon to open up and spend the first night of the season. Riding with nominees for the Darwin Awards; could be trouble!

All is right with the world!

Will be heading to the Island tomorrow for a look, can't wait. Nothing like an Island visit to get right with the world again

Thanks to all who have posted pictures, ice and snow reports throughout this short winter season. It's been fun and you have made those of us who live far from the lake feel so much closer.

What she said. I am so happy for the folks who are going out there to the islands and to be on the lake this weekend. Enjoy, have fun and be safe !

Just got back from my first ride of the season. One word. Windy!!!

Very rough on the way out, almost flat on the way back 2 hours later. I saw 3other boats while I was out on the water, and a few docked at Glendale and in Smith Cove.

Lots of pinecones and blow downs to deal with.

Very excited to be heading out to the Island tomorrow.

I drove around the north side of the lake today. No ice in Alton, Wolfeboro, The Basin, NineteenMile Bay, MelvinVillage, CenterHarbor, Meredith, or PaugusBay (as predicted). The only ice I could find was in TwentyMile Bay; About 2-3 acres.

There was the usual spectacular view at Abenaki Tower. Other than the snow on Gunstock, it looked like fall (no leaves).

Sorry for not letting the folks on Winni Forum know first hand that I did declare "Ice out" this morning at 0930 (930AM) March24th 2012. This goes in the record books as the earliest. It was a beautiful morning for it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Ice out from the island. 1st night of the season.

The announcement will be posted here on the forum and on the homepage of this site as soon as I find out.

Emerson Aviation makes the Ice-Out call and they post updates on their Facebook page. At about 9:45 they posted that they were going up for another look.
