The ice has never gone out on April 1, right? And yakkers who go outr this time of year and need to be rescued should have a Hike Safe card or an equivalent program.

So, it looks like in 1945, it went out on April 1, based on the list that goes back to 1887 or so. That's the only time it was declared on April 1, and there have been a handful of March ice-outs (including last year's record earliest on St. Patrick's Day...)

Obviously my photo was from years ago and not today....thinking this year's real ice-out will be in about 16 days or so...

If it is, it looks like you would win the contest for the first time!

Lake Masebesic in Auburn is ice free. Does Lilly Pond in Gilford, still have ice?

A large crack of open water has developed in the broads between Lake Shore Park and Welch Island! Get some wind on that and let’s get things moving!!

Heading back from work I was surprised how much things have changed since this morning. Ice is out to the bandstand in Alton, shorelines are pulling away rapidly and lots of strips of open water, extending down the bay to sandy point and beyond. Also, some holes opening up at the north end of diamond and at the mouth of Alton Bay.
