"Official" Ice Out Thread

This clip (will take a bit of time to download) is from this morning starting around 7:30 am until about 11:30. If you looked at my clip above from 4-23-18 you will see a bit more movement today. Last year's clip was three days before ice out.

BT, nothing wrong, just a bit overwhelmed (in a good way).

From my camera it looks like Winnisquam is opening up just south of Pot Island.

seeing cracks on the ice off Rattlesnakecam and large chunks floating on other cams. Ice is beginning to move and its pretty windy out there now. I expect much progress this week.

Alton Bay up past Sandy Point shows the ice divided into large sections just waiting for the wind.

Looking from Belknap point at 5:30 pm there is a wide section of open water spanning from Ellacoya to SW Welch. By morning the wind will have probably closed that in but up opening other sections. The annual ice migration toward Wolfeboro bay has begun. I can hear the wind and the beat of the drums now

Bet there won't be much ice on the cameras in the morning. Lots of open water from different vantage points. Be awesome to have the boat out this weekend.

Ice appears largely out to the WNW of Steamboat, and South towards Gilford.

This clip is the actual speed of the ice moving down Rattlesnake Island around 6 this evening. It is piling up somewhere!

The ice is out as far as mtpy cams can see in front of Rattlesnake Island. Big rollers today.

Still a bit of ice on the north side of Mink Island. Today’s wind is going to move that along, I suspect.
