Alton Bay today- I was surprised with the amount of ice left given the wind. Mostly ice, with many open patches, from the bandstand to at least Loon Cove. Now open at the scenic overlook but the edge of ice may be just below that.
No ice out today. Even if it was, Emerson probably would not fly. The wind at the airport is NW 18 sustained gusts to 31. Smith Cove - We took just a quick look from the Glendale YC driveway, the ice sheet had moved away from the YC docks. So the ice sheet is free to be moved around by the wind. I do recall that in a recent year the west by NW wind pushed the ice sheet into the neck of the cove. Will take a look from Fay's tomorrow. |

Lots of ice moving between East Bear and 5/6 Mile. A friend a bit further north has been sharing camera pics all day. We are seeing it roll into our shore and disappear. Lots of wind through early Wednesday and decent daytime temps should still give a solid chance of ice out by the weekend I think. |

Alton Bay lost a lot overnight. One band left south of Echo Point is the major blockage. About 100 yards north of the bandstand there is a strip of ice holding back a pile of slush. I expect that to go today, and the rest to the north by tomorrow.
I hear the ice in the vicinity of 5 Mile is gone, and Island Services are out and about. What does Center Harbor and Wolfeboro look like? Thinking Alton Bay may be the hold out. |

By late yesterday, the wind had taken out the ice between Long Island and the end of Moultonborough Neck from the bridge down to around FL64. This morning, the rest was gone, down to at least the six-pack and beyond Pleasant Island. I can see some ice off in the distance, in the direction of Tuftonboro Neck.

Open water as far as one can see in this pic today from Harilla Landing in Moultonborough. Even have a boat in the water.

As viewed from Fay's dock today, Smith Cove is ready for a jail break tomorrow when the wind takes a break. Alan |

Flew over Alton around noon, needs another day or two. I have a picture, but can’t make it small enough to post.

Very close…
Still some ice in Meredith Bay but view from the top of Red Hill looks pretty clear! Squam looks pretty socked in.

Somewhat surprised it wasn't called yesterday. Driving through Alton Bay at 4, it just looked like a couple of patches of slush in the water at Echo Point.
