I thought we might be just hours away from ice out but then I saw how much there is in front of Snake Eyes. I would guess several weeks of melting before that area is ice free.

Check the DATE on Snake Eyes. Power has been out for awhile on the island. NB

Island Girl is on her way to her little slice of heaven as we speak. If she has power she said earlier she will reboot SnakeEyes.

I don't see any web cams with ice on them (I could be missing it tho)

Does anyone still see ice?

Are any of the cameras still showing ice? The last one I could see was weathercam and that is clear. The Governor's Island thumbnail showed ice when I last looked but that looked like a few days ago and the current image looks like a fine summer day, a big change from midday.

So... where is there still ice?

I know this doesn't count for ice out but I figured I'd toss it out.

19 Mile Bay is mostly ice free, the remainder I would expect to be gone later today or tomorrow. However, there is ice by the mouth of the bay around Farm Island. It's hard to tell exactly how much or how solid.

20 Mile Bay is still pretty full of ice. Probably not clear until Saturday or later.

Moultonborough Bay in front of Melvin Village has a lot of open water with a good sized piece of ice in the middle. Clear possibly tomorrow or Saturday.

The ice in front of me by Suissevale just disappeared.

There is moderate ice at the end of States Landing Road in Moultonborough that will probably last to Saturday or a bit later.

The winds seem pretty calm by me and that is slowing things down a bit. If the winds actually get up to 17 MPH tomorrow as predicted, that could clear things up faster.

I have a Tai Chi class in Center Harbor this evening so I'll see what that looks like. Thanks to the DST change I will be getting there before dark.

Braun Bay and Hermit Cove are clear....time to start rafting in Braun Bay!!

The area around Black Cat finally looks good but try to avoid the area around Snake Eyes. It looks like a localized snow storm.

This all proves that weather is local!

When the NH Electric Co-op is predicting ice-out on the Rattlesnakecam....

Think Don can close this out by dark if Emerson flys this evening. All ports of call seem clear for the Mount to sail. Now just need April 1 to get here so I can catch that big tasty salmon

Two things I can think of for the lack of an ice out declaration at this point:
1. Center Harbor
2. Emerson didn't fly this afternoon
