I was out in the airboat yesterday and estimate 2-4 inches in most places. We were breaking through constantly unless we were at running speed. There were many spots of open water in the broads between Welch and Diamond, between Governers and Timber, in front of Ames Farm, and near Sleepers. The broads side of Rattlesnake was very thin as well, if we came to a stop we would go right through.

For the airboat it was flat, soft and smooth. You could go as fast as you want due to the conditions. I have never made the run to Alton from Gilford so quickly, even on water.

I will try to post some pictures we took later. I am beginning to think my guess of the 20th is not so far off after all...
