Ice-In Declared

fatlazyless · 02-13-2024, 04:26 PM

Here's an interesting item on this winter's ice situation. While Meredith NH was able to relocate their 2024 Pond Hockey Classic from Lake Winnipesaukee to nearby Lake Waukewan, one mile away, for a very happening tournament, held on Feb 2-3-4. The same cannot be said for the Feb 9-10-11 Lake Champlain, Vermont ....... https://www.pondhockeyclassic.com/lakechamplain ...... which was unfortunately canceled citing three days of temperatures over 45 degrees.

It was supposed to be held in Malletts Bay, Lake Champlain which is a Lake Champlain bay that is 95% surrounded by land in Colchester, Vermont, just north of Burlington, Vermont.

Who knows but maybe it could have been held on Lake Waukewan for two weeks in a row! So, what has Lake Waukewan got that neither Lake Winnipesaukee or Lake Champlain had on Feb 2-3-4 and on Feb 9-10-11?

Is a small three letter word ...... good enough quality I-C-E. So, three cheers ......

....... for beautiful, very scenic Lake Waukewan in Meredith NH and its natural ability to create strong, smooth pond hockey ice!

Pond Hockey Classic, Meredith NH: 15 years consecutive running with never a cancellation thanks to nearby ..... https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Waukewan ..... Lake Waukewan.
