The way the season is going I will say ice out will be at the end of April or the begging of May. We took the truck from Center Harbor to Alton Bay across the lake Saturday ! first time I've done that in years.

Wow! We may have to delay our flight to MHT this year.

From the looks of what I am seeing on my webcams it appears that the ice is retreating slowly. Will try and post a couple of pics later today.

I love the "think Spring" sign and daffodils on the Island Princess Cam. Wish they were real daffodils.

Just checked the Lakeport Dam Data Phone and found out that the lake temp is now at 36 degrees. Seems that we may be headed in the right direction.

But, according to today's Union Leader, Dave Emerson hasn't seen the retreat yet. Climate warming, climate cooling, climate change?

Yeah, someone sneaked up to the island and put the flowers and the sign up where they could be seen

It was not us - have never been to the island during the winter. It is funny.
