I saw on accuweather.com that the mercury is forecast to hit -11 tonight in the region -- so if the winds calm down after dark, that should do the trick!

Grant's right, but unfortunately the wind isn't supposed to die down very much over the next several days. The wind blew hard all last night and is blowing now at 5 - 15 mph, and even with a temp. of -3 degs at 7:30 AM this morning (it's all the way up to +2 degs. now at 1:45 PM), the wind has seriously eaten away at the ice.
Here's a picture I just took from near Minge Cove looking across the lake toward Parker Island and Jockey Cove in Wolfeboro. All that dark blue stuff is ... open water.
