Here is my crop from today's MODIS image. It shows Squam, Winnisquam and Wentworth along with Winnipesaukee.

We finally got out to Welch late yesterday when the ice in the end of Smith Cove finally gave way. Great to be here, very nice calm morning today prior to the wind kicking up a bit. Riding around Welch no sign of ice except in the small cove by Winter Harbor Yacht club. I was surprised that we saw no floating debris however we keep a lookout at modest speed.

My Ice Out guess is for tomorrow, 4/17 @ 9:42 am. I think I'll be close !! And better yet......I'm coming up to the lake tomorrow !! YES !!!!

Thanks, we like it a lot. Dave Ewing found it for us. Of course we had been looking at ishoot308's boat some 300' away for a while prior to that. An Eastern makes a great island boat.

From my vantage point this morning the remaining ice in that clip is gone.

Merrymeeting · 04-17-2017, 07:11 AM

As of yesterday morning, Merrymeeting is completely ice free.

Last night Wolfeboro harbor opened up completely. That port of call is wide open.

Has anyone tried travelling from Barbers Pole to Melvin. Is it still iced in?
