"Official" Ice Out Thread

North end of the lake still has 20 to 30 inches of ice. Only a few warm days in the 15 day outlook. 70% of the days it will be cloudy. Need the sun to melt the ice.

Well if that is the case, might be longer. I'm curious to see how thick the ice really is currently.

That claim seems dubious to me. I would expect to see 20-30" mid winter, not 10 days into April.

Not looking good from my camera either. In Meredith Bay the ice still looks white, I do not see any gray areas yet.

Wolfboro White snow cover as well as Winter Harbor, 19 & 20 mile bays. Did not see much open water anywhere. Snow on the ground in lots of places from Alton up East side of lake!! Will probably be near the end of April from what I saw.. I went to Cow Island on St Patricks day many years ago!! kerk 110
