Has anyone been out in the area between Treasure, Sleepers and Rattlesnake? Was thinking of getting up there soon, but not sure if that part of the ice became thick enough before the snow hit. Thanks in advance!

Correct! The area checked was on the east side of the peninsula, where the NW wind is blocked

Thanks. I thought so. I couldn't imagine the broads side having that much ice yet!

Up to Lake today. Meredith Bay has another house. Also there was a tractor with a snow blower cleaning the snow off the Lake in Meredith Bay. Seems to me a truck with a plow would be faster.

Has anyone been on the ice in the area of Shep Brown's or Cattle Landing? Where is the best place to get on the ice? What are the ice conditions like? I'd like to hike out to Bear Island this week.

If you go to Cattle Landing, unless the town of Meredith has changed it's aggressive use of an ice eater around the floating dock, it can be very difficult to safely get on the ice there. Seriously, save a little electricity and drastically shorten the run times. You'll protect the dock just the same without creating a giant pond around what used to be a fabulous access point for that part of the lake. I will usually park in the public parking area and head up the road (west) to the first lakeside driveway. There's a slight embankment there, but that area is free of docks/ice eaters and a popular access point. Based on the other ice reports, I would expect 10+" of ice in that area. I'd still be quite cautious if you are passing through Cattle Landing (heading east towards Mark Island) and check the ice as you go there until well past Dolly Island. |

Am I seeing things on the webcams? Has the ice melted? It looks like ice out already. I hope we have more winter on the way. At 7:30 AM it is 59 in Boston.

The edges are the first to suffer with the amount or rain we got!
Everything should lock back up soon. The flash freeze has begun! |

I know that ice-out is declared when the M/S Mount Washington can navigate to its ports in Center Harbor, Wolfeboro, Alton Bay, Weirs Beach and Meredith. What determines ice-in?

Just an FYI.... there is a measured 5” of solid black ice in front of Belknap Point.

As always ice conditions change so due caution should be used, this information is being provided based on my observations today. If you do venture out don't assume what I've seen is consistent everywhere. Oh and far as the parking situation at Sheps, about 1/4 of the parking lot is plowed. |

I fished off Gilford beach Sunday.
14" black ice. As much as 17" in the whiter stuff right at shore. The gate is open and the bobhouses were showing up all day. I stopped by Meredith after, ran into an acquaintance who told me there's "like twenty inches here"... a fish tale, knowing the individual...lol. I would expect more like what I found in Saunders. |

About 3/4 of the dock is surrounded by open water, and 1/4, the outer-right hand, is strong looking ice. If you fall through the ice and into the water, you'll wish you were wearing a noodle belt!

Walked out to Sleepers on Thursday, ice thickness was 12" to 14" on the side facing Rattle snake. The ice was very active making all sorts of noises. Scary but very cool.
