Lily Pond Ice-out status?

Leoskeys · 03-20-2022, 08:50 AM

Hi, I seem to recall Lily Pond in Gilford is pretty accurate predictor of Winni’s Ice-out. I believe its ice-out is consistently 10-14 days before Winni. Can anyone up there provide a Lily pond update, and/or photos?

I will go by and take a photo today.

I believe it's more like 7-8 days after Lily Pond goes out. See, now you have something more to look forward too.

If the weather and temps are consistent then 7-8 days lead time is pretty good. But considering the weather and the temps have been all over the place, I think the 10-14 days lead time will be accurate this time around.

I haven't checked to see the state of Lily Pond today, but I know there was more open water yesterday (March 26th) than seen in the photos by Jeanbz1 above back on the 21st.

Just a small amount of ice today on the east side of Lily. Also Belknap point view, ice is getting dark. Maybe tomorrow's wind will have a say.

Alan, quite a bit of ice disappeared since yesterday morning! If 10-14 days holds that still puts Ice Out somewhere between April 6th to April 10th.

Looking at Meredith Bay today, my guess it will be ice free by next weekend

Still guys ice fishing up in 19 mile bay

Below freezing next two days so ice out maybe two weeks

Is the ice at a point where it can move with the wind yet? I see 20 MPH winds coming tomorrow. If the ice is moving while still solid we could be looking at quite a few broken docks. I cross my fingers this time every year.

Alton Bay could see some ice movement inside Echo Point and inside Sandy Point. There's open lanes in the areas and the ice is out to the bandstand and just beyond.

I drove by Lily Pond this afternoon (~2:45PM) and I saw the last of the ice against the western shore (Walmart side). A thin patch of maybe 60 feet long and 20 feet wide was pushed up against the shore.

The wind certainly helped despite the below freezing temperatures. The wind was strong enough to generate whitecaps on the pond.

can anyone provide an update on Paugus Bay, with Anchor Marine gone, there is no more cam that I know of on the bay

burgerunh · 03-29-2022, 09:12 AM

I had to drop off my boat at Winnisquam Marine at Lake Winnisquam this morning. Ice was gone off the southern part of Lake Winnisquam to just north of the bridge.
