Default wind vs ice

It sounds like the strong winds have broken up the ice, as opposed to those years when there is one huge ice-pack moving with thousands of tons of mass just wiping everything out as it goes by. Is this correct?

Hoping everybody has minimal, or no damage both docks and downed trees.

I'm guessing Weirs, Meredith and Center Harbor are pretty open. Anybody got status for Wolfeboro and Alton Bay (Mount ports of call)?

I can't comment on Winni, but in my year #20 on Lake Wentworth at ice-out, the wind turned the gray ice into a million ice cubes, which form a 50-60 foot band of dancing ice cubes along the south and east shores, with a few large ice floes mixed in.
