With temps forecast to get warm, even maybe closing in on the 70 degree mark come Saturday I'd expect that the typical areas such as you are interested in will be opening up a lot especially if coupled with some wind.

Hopefully we're about two weeks or less... seeing it snow yesterday was rather disappointing!

I think it should be mostly gone in 2 weeks or less.

North end of the lake still has 20 to 30 inches of ice. Only a few warm days in the 15 day outlook. 70% of the days it will be cloudy. Need the sun to melt the ice.

Well if that is the case, might be longer. I'm curious to see how thick the ice really is currently.

That claim seems dubious to me. I would expect to see 20-30" mid winter, not 10 days into April.

Not looking good from my camera either. In Meredith Bay the ice still looks white, I do not see any gray areas yet.

Wolfboro White snow cover as well as Winter Harbor, 19 & 20 mile bays. Did not see much open water anywhere. Snow on the ground in lots of places from Alton up East side of lake!! Will probably be near the end of April from what I saw.. I went to Cow Island on St Patricks day many years ago!! kerk 110
