Last night and today's warm weather and heavy rain will have a devastating effect on the ice especially the shoreline. Don't think you will see many people out there after today...

I always find it interesting that no matter how thick the ice gets, you can't predict anything. If the weather is warm and we have rain and wind, it changes the ice quickly.

We saw multiple sleds heading north past Rattlesnake on Saturday. Also saw 2 sleds racing a UTV down Alton Bay Saturday evening on our way to dinner. As we were driving by, we saw the back of the UTV drop down quickly and come to a screeching halt from probably 30mph. They sunk the rear in slush and weren't going anywhere.

Although there is plenty of ice still out there, this rain will wreak havoc on the surface and make much of the lake impassable. Probably still a month to go.

The view from Belknap Point today. The ice is just starting to darken.

Looks like more cold and snow coming this weekend and next week. Should thicken up again...
