.....weather at the lake says it is zero in Laconia.....here in WV....my thermometer says -12 degrees at 7:30-am ....probably I should stop thinking about not taking out the dock & boatlift and how the lake will never-ever freeze up this year......oh heck! Think I'll wait for a sunny day with temps at least in the low 40's before getting the dock out! One year there was about two inches ice needed chopped out to remove the boatlift and I sure said that would nevah happen again!

And, as of yesterday afternoon, there was no ice to be seen anywhere in the area between Horse-Dolly-Cattle Landing-Bear-Mark-Mink-Timber-Governor's but there well could be some ice in the shallows or somewhere today?

You know, the 1/6 hp-$68 smallish utility pumps sold by Lowe's are very heavy, probably have a cast iron case underneath the rubber outside, and are so durable they can be run the entire winter used as a dock water circulator, and do a nice job as an el cheapo ice-eater......plus Lowe's has that three month easy-no questions asked, return policy too.....in case they don't work out for you........gotta like that Lowe's! Now, if only the NH Electric Coop, probably some of the most expensive power around, had a similar return policy for their electric power! You know, it sure would be nice to see that electric meter running in reverse, with the electric utility co actually buying-buying-buying power back from the consumer.....thinking solar or wind....or something.....like maybe just a long extension cord? ..
