The "K" refers to the ICAO code for continental "USA".
Airports ID's with numbers in them do not normally have the "K", because the number format is not ICAO standard. It does not have directly to do with weather.
And in this case, B18 really refers to the Seaplane Base at Alton Bay, but of course, we use it for the ICE, too.
I am proud to say that I have landed at Alton Bay on both the water and the ice.
