I saw that on the Gunstock mountaintop cam this afternoon as well. Just 2 days ago there was no ice in sight at all from Belknap Point down to Ellacoya and now there's no open water.
I have to say I'm impressed. As a former part-time Belknap Point resident, I can't recall many, if any, other times when so much open water froze up in just 2 days. Usually the area south of Welch Island towards Belknap Point, Ellacoya/LSP is the most stubborn, freeze-resistant area on the entire lake, not counting a few channels. The cold, calm conditions of the previous 1 or 2 nights were exceptional I guess.
