Ice-In 2012-13

Blue Thunder · 12-28-2012, 12:03 PM

Doesn't look too promising at this point. Even though it's going to be very cold the first part of next week, it's also supposed to be windy....time will tell but with the water temps at 36* it shouldn't be too long...

Merrymeeting · 01-01-2013, 09:29 AM

Still no ice anywhere on Merrymeeting. This wind has been something!

Given water temps and the outside temps this week, I expect that if the wind dies down, it will flash freeze quickly. (Perhaps Thursday if the forecast holds)

Island Girl · 01-01-2013, 10:13 AM

Could be Thursday night... I am thinking more likely Saturday night into Sunday? The lake is cold enough now.... Just need some calm!

Woo Hoo!

after spending the New Year weekend out on the island we came back last night... we were hoping to get one more trip out by boat next weekend, but looks like maybe not, especially with the forecast for the remainder of the week!!!

Happy 2013 to everyone, we're looking forward to it!!

The webcams show lots of icing... Still too windy for the broads.

Soon, very soon.

You must have a new URL for your web cams. No picture is showing on the link on RattlesnakeCam.com and a couple of others sites. The Pine Island South cam shows an old picture from May 2012. I sure do miss seeing the 2 views.

Merrymeeting · 01-02-2013, 11:27 AM

There was a lot of skim ice on Merrymeeting early this morning, especially in the coves and bays, with patches of crystals/slush in the open water.

But once the wind came up, it all broke apart and is now mostly gone.

Again, if this wind ever stops for a bit, it will lock in quickly.

As suspected, Merrymeeting froze up once the winds died. It looks pretty solid right now, and there are no more open areas of water. I doubt a wind would touch it much today. Looks like we can declare Ice-in on Merrymeeting.

Woodsy · 01-03-2013, 08:34 AM

Paugus bay caught last night! WOOHOO!

upthesaukee · 01-03-2013, 09:33 AM

The bay had heavier ice out to Sandy point and clear skim of ice out to Echo Pt as of yesterday afternoon. 1-2.

Bear Island South · 01-03-2013, 09:43 AM

Not much happening here...looks like some ice chunks blew in.

PaugusBayFireFighter · 01-03-2013, 10:47 AM

Paugus Bay was looking pretty iced up, as far as I could see this morning.

PFF, I know exactly where you are now!

that little complex was for sale this year, did you purchase the whole place, or did it get divided up?

ishoot308 · 01-03-2013, 11:10 AM

Here's the Glendale Dock area taken this A.M.. It skimmed over last night to about 100 yds out. Yes those boats are frozen in. Island Support and someone else will be chipping them out today I presume...

Another 7-10 days for ice in I predict...

I'm not too sure if we are talking about the same complex. There was a piece of land with cottages for sale. We have 3 houses on a big lot. It's technically an "assosiation" but the 3 homes are family...can't wait to get back there Memorial Day!
But for now, it's all about the ICE!

AC2717 · 01-03-2013, 02:18 PM

thank you PFF
yup you are correct on what I was talking about, and I know your place very well, might catch me fishing out there, in a black nitro with teal stripe

back on target bring on the ice, cannot wait for the derby!!!! and Hockey!!!!

My wife and I are the only full timers, as of this year. This warmer picture is the property from the lake's view...can't wait for Memorial Day!

Fun place!!

Merrymeeting · 01-03-2013, 04:34 PM

Once it starts, given this weather, it's pretty amazing how quickly it happens.

While I'm still not ready to venture out onto the ice just yet, the ice along the shoreline and ~30yrds out is now 4-5" thick. This in areas where there was open water at this time yesterday.

upthesaukee · 01-03-2013, 04:47 PM

Alton Bay as seen from Alton Mtn Rd. today.

Ice is out almost to Little Mark Is.

codeman671 · 01-03-2013, 10:00 PM

My cameras show that mark island iced in about 100 feet out from shore facing bear overnight for the first time of the season. It has been open water until today.

I think I know that guy! Love the shot of the kids on the jetski! Franca and I will be in touch to do dinner soon. We have a couple of weekends planned to come up to the lake to enjoy the Winter season. Ice is slowly coming in and before long you'll be serenaded by the songs of snowmobiles at 3 AM screaming across Paugus Bay. Say Hi to Beth

Can I assume you have bubblers going to protect the dock from ice, almost looks like it? How well do those work for you?
