The ice is changing fast. Check out DRH's webpage and see the difference 7 hours made yesterday.
Even the satellite imagery above shows the ice with a decidedly gray tone, as opposed to the bright white of a week ago.
There's no denying that each day as I drive around the Gilford-to-Alton Bay slice of the lake, the tone of the ice is deepening, and the cracks are widening. The ice is moving further away from the shore each day as well.
Now, since we haven't got any rain in the forecast, and no significant wind either, I suggest that we call each marina on the lake and ask that they place one boat in the water and give it a good test-drive for maneuverability: run it in circles, at fast speed, thereby creating some waves to start breaking it up!
Meanwhile, we should all click on the Amazon link at the top right of the ice-out page, and learn all about the exciting new technology available there.
If that doesn't excite you, go to the left hand side and check out the world of exciting vacations.
