Don't think I'd walk on this

I've tried to remain optimistic, but it's getting tougher by the day. Not to mention little to no snow either.

Ishoot 308 just wanted to respond to your first shot of the broads 1/24 which captures the Ossipee Range. I may be infringing on copyright laws but I set it to my desk top as background, just a fabulous shot! I am 100 miles away in Boston and your photos have captured what I truly miss every day, and you residents are truly blessed to have as a daily dose! Makes this forum so wonderful for someone afar!

With the mild temps and today's wind on the lake, it pretty much destroyed ANY ice that had been forming except in secluded coves and such. Here is a quick video from a few moments ago... https://video.nest.com/clip/7002805e...da8291885e.mp4

From the Morse Preserve, a view out the end of the bay to the Broads. Ice stops at Ship Is.

Nice photo UP, we were thinking of Pine Mt AKA Alton Mt yesterday but did another hike.

That short hike up the Morse preserve has to be one of the best views of the lake to be had.

View from the top of Gunstock today. Most of Winni is open water.

We decided after hiking up to the top, then taking the wide trail to the east of the top on the way down, stopping for a couple of sandwiches, and then continuing down to the parking lot, to do the Mike Burke Trail.

We headed out, and the last time we hiked the trail, it seemed to be a loop that went off the back of the parking lot, and then went into the woods, generally moving to the right, and ending up being an uphill climb back into the parking lot right by the road.

Well, we were following the blue "Public Trail" signs put out the Alton Conservation Committee, and the trail started a pretty good up hill and then moved to our left as we were hiking. It continued to climb, and move toward the South or Southwest. Finally it ran along a ridge, and then started a descent. Ah good. All of a sudden, the trail maker signs disappeared, and so we stopped. The tracks were had been following had split, and so we followed one trail to the left. Found one sign, then no more. Ok, plenty of daylight, and the old hiking adage: Follow the downhill, and follow the stream. I knew it would either take us to Avery Hill Road, or our original track. Ended up being the road, about a quarter mile east of the parking lot. Still a nice hike. They do need to mark the trail just a little better. Fun day.

Just saw this on the space face (facebook).

"Ice rescue just announced off Sandy Point. Bob house 1/2 through the ice."

Another winner...more to come, I'm sure.

The Winnipesaukee Data Phone reports the Lake Temp as 36 degrees. Last week it was 33. Will we have ice out in February?

CaptT820 · 02-04-2016, 12:04 PM

I looked at a majority of the webcams this morning and would be very surprised if we did not have ice out by March 1st. The temperatures appear to be dropping to more "normal" levels next week, but the sun angle is so high at this time of year, that building ice is next to impossible without really cold weather. I live in southern NH and last year on this date it was -3F in the morning at my house with 32 inches of snow on the ground. Today it was 52 degrees and we have maybe 2 inches of ice on the ground. Unbelievable change.

Hate to be the anti ice guy but I would love to have the boat back in the water April 1st!!!!!
