The ice in our cove is receding quickly now, and the remaining ice is getting darker each day. Here's an image from the Echo Shores Webcam taken just before 6 PM this afternoon:

That is a very interesting image I don't think I recall seeing one quite like that before, the reflection so perfect on the calm water and then none on the ice.

Minge Cove Marina is out to nearly the mouth. I will post more pics tonight of our trip to the lake today.

by the time the sun went down there was about 200' of more blue. It is still solid between VP and Lockes. There is still a patch of ice between Fay's and the first channel marker. I'm feeling confident about my guess.

Ice-water line at Sandy Point in Alton Bay.

Minge Cove was completely iced in on Thursday. Today, Saturday, the marina is clear and the ice line is nearly to the blinking light\marker.

This was taken at dawn 4-19 from Big Pier at LSP lookihng toward Diamond and Rattlesnake. Last night this view was open water for about 3 football fields.

Looks like the ice is moving around alot with the wind.

Yesterday AM there were guys in small boats and one guy with waders on fishing off Ellacoya, that area is now full of pack ice.
