Official 2015 Ice-Out Thread

pjard · 04-20-2015, 05:53 PM

Yesterday afternoon was wide open from Belknap Point to Welch. I just drove by it now and it looks you could drive a tractor trailer across the ice...amazing what a shift in wind can do.

Gonna have to advise against that

Took this early this morning from Lincoln Park. Smith Cove is also completely locked up with ice. I'm looking like a loser with my 2.15PM today pick!

Don't beat yourself up. I had yesterday!

Merrymeeting · 04-21-2015, 07:38 AM

Took this one about an hour ago. Wolfeboro Bay is mostly open except for ice over by Goodhue Hawkins. However, once the wind shifts to the west, as predicted for later this morning, I expect much of the ice out on the lake will move back in.

depasseg · 04-21-2015, 07:39 AM

I love watching the ice move around.

Anyone up for for some tubing?

bigdog · 04-24-2015, 12:15 PM

Does anyone have the link for the Forum member projections for ice-out?

I think I had Apr.22 maybe?

Thanks,
Bigdog

Send the Mount into Wolfeboro harbor to breakup that ice-pack and let's get summer going!!!

AC2717 · 04-24-2015, 12:58 PM

looks like it could squeak around the ice left to get to her dock
c'mon

paulvanslooten · 04-24-2015, 01:30 PM

Hello @jazzman! its your next door neighbor (to the right) hope you are well! your dock looks in great shape considering all that damn ice out there (no pun intended). would you please take a pic of our dock to see if it has fared as well as yours has? cant wait to get up there! so long for now- see you soon (god willing this ice actually goes out!)

Rich · 04-24-2015, 01:50 PM

Hi to the Barndoorians! I have a relative that has a home on the Wolfeboro side of Barn Door.

Accipiter290 · 04-24-2015, 02:15 PM

Will there be another pass over Wolfeboro today? Cuz it's gotta be justttttt about time to make the call!

Just Sold · 04-24-2015, 02:25 PM

Not Quite yet - Ice flow to Port!

tis · 04-24-2015, 04:08 PM

WMUR just said ice out was declared less than an hour ago!!

Island Girl · 04-24-2015, 04:33 PM

Hooray!!! Let summer begin.

that my Sat. or Sun. 11 a.m. prediction is good.

I can't remember which day guessed. Does anyone have the link to where the predictions are?

FOUND It: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/contests/2015/

I'd be more confident if my guess was Sat. @ 11:37 a.m.

My guess may be close (this Thursday)! If it was only a bit warmer (I wonder if they will check for ice-out on a rainy day?):

gokart-mozart · 04-21-2015, 10:15 AM

Lake Wentworth is ice-free at sunrise today, 4-21-15.

Ice-in 2015 guesses start now.

Fargo · 04-21-2015, 12:11 PM

Lilly Pond went out last Thursday so Winni goes a week later. Should be this Thursday.

Paugus bay girl · 04-21-2015, 12:31 PM

Paugus went out late Sunday night, early Monday morning. I left for work at 11:30 AM yesterday and it was all gone. I want to get the boats and kayaks in!

Pine Island Guy · 04-21-2015, 12:52 PM

Sunday morning was wide open... today, not so much! -PIG

pjard · 04-21-2015, 01:12 PM

Just drove from Smith Cove down to Ames Farm....some ice near Smith Cove but as you head south it is totally open. The broads looks completely clear.

Island Girl · 04-21-2015, 02:10 PM

We put the boat in Saturday... all dressed up and nowhere to go!

Chaos · 04-21-2015, 02:32 PM

A lot of the web cams are showing open water. I wonder if the ice will make it to Saturday (my ice out guess).

all of that will melt pretty quick though.The same thing happened on Paugus, all the ice floated to the shore then it was gone by the next day.

JerseyGuy · 04-21-2015, 03:22 PM

Wentworth Cove was jammed up this morning and ice free this afternoon. It looks quite clear in front of the Weirs cam too. I'm thinking maybe even tomorrow.

Patofnaud · 04-21-2015, 03:29 PM

Ice Out isn't going to happen until Thursday at 3:33 in the afternoon, exactly.

Ryan · 04-21-2015, 03:34 PM

I'd be surprised if it isn't within 24 hours. Ice that filled the cove this morning is completely gone.

Island Girl · 04-21-2015, 04:43 PM

My unscientific calculation is that there are 45 guesses for the 22nd, 41 for the 23rd and 31 for the 24th.

My guess was today about an hour ago, April 21st. There is still ice in front of my camp, so I lose...again.. All day I thought my guess was the 23rd. Must do something about my memory!

Happy Spring, Happy Ice-Out to all
