Shows the 2 Ft temp higher than the 10 Ft for the first time that I've seen. The weather is working its magic! The pond I use as a 2 week ice out measuring stick should ice out today. April 25 looks good still

Merrymeeting - is the rail trail snow free for walking?

Belknap Point today, ice is getting darker. We'll see some real changes over the next few days.

Not quite. It is mostly clear, but the places that get little to no sun (eg: the stretch from the WWII museum to Crescent Lake) still have a small layer of ice/snow. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's clear by tomorrow.

Lake temp 38/39 degrees. 70's tomorrow and rain Tuesday. All it takes is a week of favorable weather, and this is the week.

Very dark ice between Belknap Point and Welch...very dark! Looks like it could open up anytime.

Looks like a tilted line of melt on Winnipesaukee. From MODIS Government web site

here's the image from this morning... good steady progress showing on the melt-o-meter!!

We will be heading out to the island this weekend for sure, maybe earlier

According to our totally unscientific historical models... ice-out is declared 4 days and 7 hours after the first time we can get to our dock on Pine Island... hahahaha

Time Lapse view on the Echo Shores cam for today shows the ice darkening up pretty significantly in a matter of just a few hours! Changes are going to start happening very quickly

I declare ice out when I bring my first bag of "ice out" to the island and pour a cocktail. Can't wait!!!!

It looks like a lovely warm day at the lake. The lake temp is up to 38 degrees. This is the fun part... it is melting and every hour shows progress.

That is an excellent definition!! I'm guessing there will be many island residents that will jump on that as their new mantra

Cocktails ready to go, just waiting "ice out" -PIG
