Definitely agree with Bear Island South. After the last nights wind and rain we need an aerial.

Slickcraft · 04-18-2011, 07:48 AM

No ice in sight from Belkap Point looking toward Welch, Round and Timber. Also no ice in view from Scenic Road near Ellacoya looking toward the broads.

The Slickcraft is in the water and should be started this afternoon. Maybe a trip out to Welch Island tomorrow.

You won't have any troubles getting to Three Mile from Y-Landing. Yesterday morning the webcam showed the ice had shifted with the storm to be socked in the eastern edge of Pine Island, however pal Misty Blue and I got the Alumacraft rigged and by the time we got out to Light Buoy #4, it was pretty much cleared and we could get to the dock fine.

It was a spectacular day out there and we enjoyed the sun for a bit before heading back. Didn't see any other boats on the water (or ice). And this morning the PI webcams show no ice at all... poof!!

Spring has sprung, life is GREAT!! PIG

Excellent! Thanks very much for the report.

Could you get from Wolfeboro Bay to Barndoor today?

From this vantage point, it looks like you would have an ice-free ride.

Island Girl · 04-18-2011, 10:23 AM

So... do you think ice-put will be declared today? If anyone can see if the bays are free of ice, please let us know.

Time for boating!!!

Someone is looking to get ice out called tomorrow.

Rattlesnake Gal · 04-18-2011, 10:38 AM

There is no ice to be found on any of the webcams. Could Center Harbor be the hold up?

I want it DECLARED today!!!!!

Flippin NH · 04-18-2011, 10:53 AM

Ther was still some ice 2 hours ago in Meredith between the Weirs and Meredith Bay and also some in Center Harbor. If not late today then I think it will be tomorrow.

Merrymeeting · 04-18-2011, 11:51 AM

The Paugus Bay camera is still showing quite a bit of ice

So.... doesn't it all boil down to when the flight occurs? That's alot of guesses for tomorrow!

escaped from NJ · 04-18-2011, 01:19 PM

We're planning on trying to get to Little Bear from Melvin Village on Friday. I sure would appreciate any info on conditions in this area if ice out isn't declared by then. The pictures looking out of hole in the wall towards Pier 19 make it look like it isn't open.

LadyoftheLake · 04-18-2011, 01:23 PM

I am hoping that Fly Guy will be posting a new video soon. I would really like to see Meredith and Center Harbor. We are expecting some rain and possibly mixed precipitation on Tuesday April 19.

Thank you Fly Guy.

Depending on what side of little bear you are on you could get there. It is open from the grave yard down to harillas. The side facing 19 mile bay was closed off. I am willing to bet that all the ice will be gone by friday.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Emers...31847876851023

Rattlesnake Gal · 04-18-2011, 07:58 PM

still has some ice.

Center Harbor pictures taken around 4:00 pm

Meredith Bay pictures were taken around 5:00 pm.

Rattlesnake Guy · 04-18-2011, 08:18 PM

RG and I took a ride clockwise from the tip of Alton Bay to Center Harbor. We did not see any ice until we got to Meredeth and Center Harbor. In both cases the North East side was holding on.

NHgirl · 04-18-2011, 10:36 PM

Meredith still has a little sheet of ice and also Center Harbor. All rest are clear!!

Flippin NH · 04-19-2011, 06:53 AM

Nothing could be seen in Meredith this morning at 6:50 or so when I went past the bay.

CrownRay · 04-19-2011, 07:14 AM

Hmmm...Looks like Emerson will have to file an IFR flight plan to get up to declare today!

Does it HAVE to be done from the air? Can a boat declare it??

I'm sure a boat could do it, but it is tradition having Emerson Aviation make the call.

Diana · 04-19-2011, 08:14 AM

Per Emerson post on Facebook this morning! Will post pix and time later.....

lymanblue · 04-19-2011, 09:08 AM

This was on Emerson Aviation Face Book page about an hour ago:
Emerson Aviation
Just got down from the ice-out patrol...We have ICE OUT!!!!! Took a few pictures, but my camera just went flying without me with a student pilot...have to wait to post them. Official time will be announced later.

56 minutes ago

SIKSUKR · 04-19-2011, 09:13 AM

OK,56 minutes minus what time on the facebook post?= Ice out.

Sound like this guess will be the winner!

CanisLupusArctos · 04-19-2011, 10:42 AM

Emerson Aviation announced ice out this morning, as a few previous posts show. They did say that there's some ice outside of the MOUNT's path. The definition of iceout is when the MOUNT can make all her ports without running into any. That means if you have a boat in the water, and you stick to the MOUNT's path, you won't find ice. No guarantees for places outside the MOUNT's path!

The water temp actually dropped in the last couple days. It had been 40 at the surface a couple days ago. Now we have 37 at the surface and 35 at 10 feet down.

If you end up in the water for any reason, your muscles will become almost useless to you within a minute or so. The first few seconds in the water will be as painful and shocking as if you fell through a hole in the ice. After about 2 minutes your movements will be very sluggish and drunk-like. If you remain in the water you will probably be unconscious before rescuers arrive.

WEAR the life jackets. Carry survival suits on board if you have them. But at the very least, WEAR the life jackets.

LDR4 · 04-19-2011, 10:57 AM

According to a posting on Emerson Aviation's facebook page the ice is out and they will be announcing ther officila time shortly

nightrider · 04-19-2011, 07:15 PM

What happens if a large ice floe is wind driven back into one of the Mount's ports after ice out is declared???? Is ice back in????

island of barndoor · 04-20-2011, 05:36 PM

Any news on the status of ice in Roberts Cove?

MikeF-NH · 04-20-2011, 06:09 PM

...also looking for any reports from 19 Mile Bay out to Hole in the Wall.

Blue Thunder · 05-02-2011, 06:41 AM

So now that Ice Out 2011 is a memory, how would you like to be the folks on Moosehead Lake in Maine?? Looks like a couple more weeks for them.....

lawn psycho · 05-02-2011, 07:58 AM

Maybe they can use the slush ice floating around to make sno-cones on Memorial Day weekend.
