Yes, the WeirsCAM is located at Weirs Beach.

Been running my aerator for pretty much five days straight and it's barely keeping up with the ice horseshoe I formed around my docks.

It's so cold we had to chop up our piano for firewood..but we only got two chords.

Thanks for the chuckle PaugusBay

This was taken at 7:30 this morning. I am 1,600 miles south but it is nice to look at.

View today from Belknap Point. As ishoot308 reported yesterday, ice north of Welch. However open water out to Welch and the Broads.

Plenty of snowmobiles on the northern end. One ice shack out in 19mile. Friend drilled holes out at mouth of twenty and had ten inches

How's Alton Bay looking? I got to believe the lower end below sandy point is getting close to being safe enough to venture out on.

Today's MODIS image tells the story so far.

Assuming you are serious, that is the Big Lake in the center of the picture as seen from outah space today. The dark blue is open water. Assuming you aren't serious....never mind nothing to see here....

I was serious

Just didn’t look like the shape of Winni to me...although if it is, that must be Sebago to the East. It’s a very grainy picture when zoomed...looks like there’s a bridge over it too. I’ve seen better satellite pictures but thanks anyway!

Go to the MODIS website and play around...it's fun.

Well, BT, I was glad that he asked. It was not really clear to me either and I live here.

Check again! You need to get a better computer. In that picture I think I can see the hat I lost in the broads last August!

Why yes, the hat is the clue as to where Winni is. Don't see how I missed that.

Sorry, I've been posting these satellite photos here for years. I assumed that everyone would know what they were.....my bad

Descant · 01-01-2018, 09:46 PM

Aha!! Satellite photos. Hillcounrty was right.
Are these the front or back of the moon? It looks like Rattlesnake Island in the middle of the picture. What a coincidence. I was unable to zoom in for confirmation. Is that me? Or my computer?
