Given today's weather, and the less than arctic outlook over the next 10 days, it will take a miracle for there to be enough safe ice on Winnipesaukee by the 18th. I wonder about the physics of it all too. These warm days weaken the ice and even black ice loses strength in warmer weather. The nights simply haven't been cold enough to offset the warm days. We haven't seen this weather pattern since when, 2000?

That bob house in Meredith may well be doing just that shortly. Time will tell. Be careful please!
