"Official" Ice Out Thread

[fatlazyless]

Things could maybe start to move along now, with the ice-out. Looking out all the hugely expensive mega windows from my mega-million dollar lakeside mcmansion, it sure enuf lookie likie that there dun ice is finally going from winter white, over to ice-out gray.

The ice likes to change colors, and go from white to gray, as it slowly changes from strong, safe ice to mushy slush.

There was a NH story from somewhere in southern New Hampshire yesterday, about someone who drowned while trying to rescue their dog that had broken through the ice. Both man and dog drowned. Will try to find a working link. It would be informative if there was an actual video of the drowning, because it is supposedly possible to drown very quickly, like in 45-seconds, after falling through ice, if you immediately inhale a small amount of water. What with the cold shock of the icy cold, 34-degree water, and the inhalation of a small amount of water by gasping, it all supposedly happens fast ..... is all conjecture how it happened?

Thursday or Friday, April 4 or 5, 2019: Meeting House Pond, Marlborough, NH, (just south-east of Keene) 49-yards from shore in about 12' water depth; man tried using a tree branch to rescue his golden retriever ...... www.sentinelsource.com has a short report with photograph, 5-free reads accessible without a pay wall

Lake Massebessic is ice free - was actually surprised when I took a ride by yesterday and it was wide open water.

Typically Winni is +\- two weeks behind.

Thank you specifically for this report of ice out on Lake Massebessic. Have not had an opportunity to go by it this spring. 2 to 2-1/2 weeks ago little beaver lake in derry looked like it was locked in for a few weeks and it was all gone in a day was really surprised at how quick it disappeared.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Boat ramps are open too. The gate was open on the one near the traffic circle.
