Another soggy weekend?

The weather broke about noon, and there was even some blue sky around. The weather report was not accurate. Not many boats earlier in the day, but now around 4PM, the traffic is picking up. Summer is finally here!

....the lake is calm... It has been a nice boating day here today... no rain since early morning.

Yesterday was also ok... no rain...

It is quiet out there... I expect a lot of people stayed home...

On Saturday afternoon, my wife and I went over to Tilton to play golf. The place was almost deserted except for a small outing that was just finishing up. No traffic and no boats to speak of looking out at the broads along rte 11. Forecast for Sunday was 70% chance of Showers all day at 8 PM Sat night.

Got up this morning, helped out at the Alton Canoe / kayak race...no rain. went over and played golf...no rain. came home and little traffic...a few showers and a steadier rain after dark.

Feel bad for the merchants in the area. Bad forecasts of weather certainly keeps folks away, and they (merchants) suffer when it turns out nice.

Gotta love N. E. weather!!!!

My wife and I arrived in Laconia around 3:30pm Sat. to be greeted by mostly sunny conditions. We spent Sat. evening in Center Harbor, Meredith and Laconia. The weather was very pleasant. Today we took the boat from Paugus Bay to Center Harbor and enjoyed mostly sunny conditions again. All in all a much better weekend than expected. Kudos to WMUR for predicting that central and northern NH would be decent in terms of weather for the weekend.

Got to the lake Friday noon and was surprised with partly sunny and warm(82) weather.Saturday had a shower early then turned out pretty nice with partly sunny skies in the afternoon.But Sunday was the winner.Mostly sunny skies.It was beautifull and I ended up pretty sunburned thinking the sun would not last.The lake was absolutely empty all weekend.Kind of weird for the last weekend in June.It really was like a weekday.I expected a possible washout but you just never know.Sometimes you just have to go and see what happens.
