I forget average ice out date; maybe April 20 or thereabouts.
I wrote May, but I'll agree with around ice out, when it can be real warm.
In any case, I went in to Meredith Hannaford yesterday around 4:00, with traffic issues - waiting to take left in to parking lot at florist end. Thyere are going to be real lines in that left turn queue. When I enter, I never drive towards building (too many pedestrians), but take immediate left and find space in an isle near the exit near movie theater, where it's a straight shot to that exit. I am usually headed back to Route 3 intersection.
The situation will never get better. It's sort of similar to Gilford: I hate driving "up the hill" to that Hannaford. I am glad the bank moved; I changed to them last year.
PS: I once dropped a sunfish in Lake before ice out, had a brief sail, and then packed up. Do not own the sunfish now, but also have canoed and kayaked before ice out - fun as very little other boat traffic!
