Hi everyone,

Has anyone seen if the RIA Ramp still has ice at the bottom or not?

If the wind is low enough we'll be on Rattlesnake tonight.

Thanks :)

Well???? The suspense is killing me! After such a warm day on Thursday, is there still ice out there?

I was dropping my boat at the house in Moultonborough and Meredith and Center Horbor was clear but Moultonborough bay by Balmoral still had a bunch of ice. Also Lees mills had a lot of ice. I know they don't affect ICE OUT but just my .02 worth.

The ice-out posted above says Wednesday the 22nd but Wednesday was the 21st. Can somebody tell me where I can find official ice-out day and time?

Emerson Aviation makes the Ice-Out call and they post updates on their Facebook page. At about 9:45 they posted that they were going up for another look.

When I got home from work last night my sons said they had heard on NECN that Ice out was declared.
I can't confirm it though.
I consider ice out to be the first day I can get to my camp on Sleeper which was Tuesday. The rest is just details. Ha Ha

In post #234, yesterday, I indicated taht I saw Ice Out declared by WMUR. Well I went back to look and sure enough its there. HOWEVER, the date was March 24th 2010. I was so excited that ice was out that I didn't bother to look at the date. Sorry!

Traffic is through the roof this morning as you can tell by the slower loading times. I've never seen the server loads so high. Although there are lots of visitors on the forum 3 out of 4 hits today are going to the WeirsCAM.

Ice-Out week has always been the busiest week of the year on this site.

Going out to Ratlesnake this afternoon to open up and spend the first night of the season. Riding with nominees for the Darwin Awards; could be trouble!

All is right with the world!

Thanks to all who have posted pictures, ice and snow reports throughout this short winter season. It's been fun and you have made those of us who live far from the lake feel so much closer.

What she said. I am so happy for the folks who are going out there to the islands and to be on the lake this weekend. Enjoy, have fun and be safe !

Just got back from my first ride of the season. One word. Windy!!!

Very rough on the way out, almost flat on the way back 2 hours later. I saw 3other boats while I was out on the water, and a few docked at Glendale and in Smith Cove.

Lots of pinecones and blow downs to deal with.

I drove around the north side of the lake today. No ice in Alton, Wolfeboro, The Basin, NineteenMile Bay, MelvinVillage, CenterHarbor, Meredith, or PaugusBay (as predicted). The only ice I could find was in TwentyMile Bay; About 2-3 acres.

There was the usual spectacular view at Abenaki Tower. Other than the snow on Gunstock, it looked like fall (no leaves).
