The large pond in Marlborough, MA that I pass on my way to work was completely frozen over and covered with snow this morning for the first time. Over the years, I've found this to be a good indicator for the lake as it preceeds what happens at the lake by about 2 weeks, both Spring and Fall.
It had been wide open before this. I expect it will open up again over the next few days. But the freeze does seem to be a bit earlier this year.
From the Alton Bay cam, I see that it is similarly covered today.
