Official 2013-14 Ice-In Thread

HellRaZoR004 · 12-27-2013, 03:02 PM

Hopefully you can see this picture from Gunstock's facebook page.

ishoot308 · 12-28-2013, 12:55 PM

Here's a couple pics I took just a few minutes ago from my deck in Gilford.

The first pic shows a large patch of ice coming from the Southwest side of Welch island which goes across the entire lake to the Belknap point area.

The second pic shows Welch at 9:00 o'clock. As you can see the main section of the broads are still open water. There is some minor skimming that can be seen as well as some large ice flows floating through.

The bad news is the high winds predicted for Monday will most likely blow all the ice you see away.

The good news is a long period of cold weather is predicted starting Tuesday night so hopefully things will lock up!

Quick video from my webcam on the northern end of Rattlesnake, looks like we are finally forming.

I think the link will work without a drop cam login.

The winds have begun in the past 30 mins. It will be interesting to see how the open areas and ice pack react to what's coming.

Here's the latest from Pine Island - the first looking east towards M'boro Neck and Five Mile, the second view is south along the west side of Bear... with the projected cold snap this week, looks like we'll be able to walk out this coming weekend

Happy New Year to all!!! -PIG

Here's what the wind did to the ice around Welch today...

The first pic was taken early this morning around 6:30 A.M. before the wind started. The second pic was taken this afternoon around 4:00 P.M....

Hmm wonder if it'll be safe enough for a sled. Really want to get out to BI but to lazy to walk out!

Definitely looks good though!

rsmlp · 12-31-2013, 07:42 AM

open yesterday but looks locked up this morning

JB Long Island · 12-31-2013, 08:16 AM

Looking west off Long Island yesterday there was just one open stretch visible out in the broads - and looked like the ice had held at sunset as the wind was dying so it must be frozen over by now !!

Merrymeeting · 12-31-2013, 10:03 AM

Still a lot of open water showing on the SnakeEyes webcam.

Webbsatwinni · 12-31-2013, 11:18 AM

Looks like all of the ice was taken away by the waves and the broads look open. The cold should help that!

ishoot308 · 12-31-2013, 12:21 PM

Here's a couple iphone pics from this morning of the Welch / broads area.

Ice in by the weekend!

The view from Snake Eyes shows ice all the way across to Tuftonborough Neck. It looks like there is a stream of water in the middle. Websatwinni, do you have a shot from your place? ishoot308, how about a pic or two?

Here you go! Last night just before dark and a current pic. I am looking to see if there are any good ice growing videos on there and I will post.

Webbsatwinni · 01-01-2014, 10:55 AM

It happened in the dark so the vids didn't show much. If it grows today and I get it, I will share.

playinghooky · 01-01-2014, 11:13 AM

The first bob house appeared in Alton Bay a few days ago. I'm sure more will join this weekend if not sooner.

Island Girl · 01-01-2014, 11:15 AM

Thanks for the pics. It looks like there is still a lot of open water. Maybe over the weekend. More frigid temps coming. I got a note from a friend in Ottawa last night. It was -30.

Webbsatwinni · 01-01-2014, 08:02 PM

I was lucky enough to have the ice line stop in front of the cam today, I took a few images and made a slide show so everyone can enjoy!
