This morning Wolfeboro Bay was pretty covered with ice, albeit, broken and irregular, but nevertheless, ice. Of course, this also raises a question, since the Mount has 2 gigantic engines, and is in and of itself rather heavy, it seems to me that even with some ice still in place, the Mount could trash its way through and make it to the dock in Weirs and in Wolfeboro.

I would think by changing the rules of the game (not including Alton or others as a port) this would really screw up historical data and earliest and latest ice out would have little to no meaning any more. I personally would not want to see that...
