Ice Out Contest for 2023 ?
Is there a Ice Out Contest for 2023 ? Can't find it listed on the site ?
I suspect this year, 'ice' out' will be early IMHO. |

2023 Ice-Out Contest Now Open
The 2023 winnipesaukee.com Ice-Out Guess Contest is now open and accepting guesses. There are a few small changes this year: 1. Only the closest guess will win a prize (in the past the 3 closest guesses would win a prize). 2. If Ice-In does not occur in February the contest will be cancelled. 3. If Ice-Out is declared in February the contest will be cancelled. |

Ice in?
What is the criteria for ice-in? Right now The Broads are wide open, and after the brief extreme cold this weekend the temperatures return to the 30s and 40s next week, with some rain. Not exactly ice friendly weather.

It's interesting to read this because way back when ice out didn't depend on the Mt. being able to visit all ports and there was no such thing as ice in. If somebody rode around the lake and everything seemed to be frozen over we'd just say the lake is all frozen. "Ice in" is a relatively new concept. I think the Lakes Region Association declared ice out for a while. I don't remember when Emerson Aviation starting checking but I'm sure they could tell us.

Curious?

Just curious why #2? Many of the Mounts ports are already iced in and an ice out still has to occur. Why does the lake have to fully freeze over to have a contest? Just curious…. Dan

It was obviously easier when the flagpole on the raft in Weirs Bay fell over and tripped the clock to know exactly when ice out occurred. In those days, the Weirs ruled the lake. Not so muchanymorer.

Must say, with this wind what ice we had yesterday is now gone. And with the weather forecasted for next week I believe I won’t be seeing ice this season on my side of the lake

Mary was panning so fast I got vertigo watching that! :-) The C-Nile has been through similar rough waters on my November commutes home, but this would be a " light pour " kinda ride for sure!

I am surprised she was outside at all. The previous pictures were puppy pics in bed and views out the front slider. I will tell her to slow down next time

Re-freeze
The almost 2 mile wide x 2 mile long swath of open water in the broads has re-froze in past couple days! I do not see any open water at all on the lake currently…
I’m still confident about having my boat in the water in March! Fingers crossed! Dan

Same here. Frozen over the last few days. With more snow coming, it could be here awhile
