Yes. On many occasions a strong NW wind will clear the ice between Welch and Belknap point sending it across the Broads and down to Wolfeboro Bay. Normally the ice hangs in longer north of Timber/40 Islands and in Wolfeboro Bay. Over the past 25+ years we have been able to get to Welch about a week prior to official ice out.
