I was gone from the area since Saturday, just returning today. It's interesting what has happened to the ice.
The Merrymeeting River is now almost completely closed in. It was still mostly open when we left on Saturday. So ice formation has continued. (For those who may not know, the Merrymeeting River flows into Alton Bay)
But at the same time, most of the ice that had formed in some of the coves on the lake has disappeared.
In any case, all the water bodies seem to be right at the tipping point needed to freeze. All it's going to take is extended, below 32 degree temps, something that appears to be coming next week.
