I'm not too sure if we are talking about the same complex. There was a piece of land with cottages for sale. We have 3 houses on a big lot. It's technically an "assosiation" but the 3 homes are family...can't wait to get back there Memorial Day!
But for now, it's all about the ICE!

AC2717 · 01-03-2013, 03:18 PM

My wife and I are the only full timers, as of this year. This warmer picture is the property from the lake's view...can't wait for Memorial Day!

Fun place!!

Once it starts, given this weather, it's pretty amazing how quickly it happens.

While I'm still not ready to venture out onto the ice just yet, the ice along the shoreline and ~30yrds out is now 4-5" thick. This in areas where there was open water at this time yesterday.

upthesaukee · 01-03-2013, 05:47 PM

Alton Bay as seen from Alton Mtn Rd. today.

Ice is out almost to Little Mark Is.

codeman671 · 01-03-2013, 11:00 PM

My cameras show that mark island iced in about 100 feet out from shore facing bear overnight for the first time of the season. It has been open water until today.

Island Girl · 01-03-2013, 11:18 PM

The weather stations around the lake are reporting almost no wind. This could be it.... In the morning go to www.rattlesnakecam.com/icein.htm to see!

Island Girl · 01-04-2013, 07:49 AM

No ice this morning... Next shot at it might be overnight Saturday.

Pine Island Guy · 01-04-2013, 08:29 AM

yesterday it was from the shore to the light buoy, today it looks like frozen all the way over to Moultonborough Neck...

I don't think we'll be walking out this weekend, but it shoud be soon

Bear Island South · 01-04-2013, 08:35 AM

I think I know that guy! Love the shot of the kids on the jetski! Franca and I will be in touch to do dinner soon. We have a couple of weekends planned to come up to the lake to enjoy the Winter season. Ice is slowly coming in and before long you'll be serenaded by the songs of snowmobiles at 3 AM screaming across Paugus Bay. Say Hi to Beth

It looks like Alton Bay is frozen out to the Broads.

Sea Ya On The beach · 01-04-2013, 12:14 PM

So far so good, will be constantly looking for updates as the Pond Hockey Classic nears (Feb 1st-3rd)

ishoot308 · 01-04-2013, 12:20 PM

Don't let the bays and coves fool you. There is still massive open water on the majority of the lake. Here is my cam on Welch looking West, that's Lockes Island at center left and the witches and Governors Island at center right.

Be careful;

Dan

Slickcraft · 01-04-2013, 01:17 PM

The view from the top of Gunstock showed a lot of open water; north of Rattlesnake up past Welch and out across the Broads.

Nice skiing today at Gunstock, we are doing our best to get our monies worth out of the $129 season passes.

Chaselady · 01-05-2013, 02:41 PM

4 wheelers out on 20 mile bay.....I hope they're not pushing their luck. Bob houses are showing up ( near shore) at 19 mile bay beach.

Slickcraft · 01-05-2013, 05:08 PM

Looking out from Scenic Dr and Belknap Pt this afternoon does not give me the impression of impending ice-in.
It would probably take a dose of "ice-nine" but then I would not recommend that.

Resident 2B · 01-05-2013, 11:32 PM

16 degrees outside here at the Weirs and no wind at all. Good weather for lake icing!

Great fire going in the fireplace.

Webbsatwinni · 01-06-2013, 09:56 AM

I know its fragile and the wind and the warmth next week will be an issue, but it's nice to see the ice cover in the broads.

Thanks IG for making it all possible!

PaugusBayFireFighter · 01-04-2013, 10:32 AM

Walter...can't wait..we will be up often.Kiss Franca!
