The Official 2010 Ice-in Thread - Page 2

I was looking for some information about an "Official Ice-In" date. It looks like people agree on January 11th.

Sounds good to me!

Is this earlier than usual or pretty much on schedule?

Hi All,
Talked to an ice fisherman today at Rattlesnake Island Landing. He reported 6" but he was only 100 yards from shore. He did not think walking out further was smart right now. Give it more time....It's making ice every night. Soon.

DBA;

Where is the "landing" on Rattlesnake island??

DBA · 01-13-2010, 07:02 PM

If you have Rattlesnake Island property, you'll have access to the landing.

Gee Thanks....But the question was where in relationship to the island is the landing!

Just off the beach there are bob houses, not sure how much ice they are on but less than a mile down the island the broads are still open. The wind keeps breaking up the ice, won't be putting the bob house until it catches.

On Rattlesnake Island, the only landing I know of ...points directly at Welch Island!

ishoot308 · 01-14-2010, 08:58 AM

Hi APS

Yes, I am familiar with that one which I think is more of an access road.

Thanks!

Dan

Rattlesnake Island owners have property on the mainland from which they can launch boats.

My brother just reported to me with 6-8" of solid black (clear) ice. He was about halfway between the Weirs and Meredith about 50-100' from shore. Thats more than I was thinking there would be that far out in the bay.

Slickcraft · 01-16-2010, 08:57 AM

See http://www.citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll...908/-1/CITIZEN

Someone told me that the average is Jan. 21st. So, this is earlier than normal. Although, I can remember walking out onto Wolfeboro Bay to watch the New Years fireworks before. So, that must have been really early.

Wolfeboro Bay along with most other bays are almost always safely frozen by New Years.It's the rest of the open areas of the lake that average a late January ice-in.

KBoater · 01-19-2010, 05:44 PM

I agree with Wolfeboro Bay often being frozen in by New Years. We use to
try to ice skate every New Years.

The # One concern is to keep all safe out on the ice... Some forget about the inherent dangers to and go out there in the first place.
A point of interest is that most of us survivors into "The Oldies Club" ( if you will ) took the advise of our predecessors...
Now, in doing so, us retirees get 10 more Brain Cramps Per Month!

... NO TAXES AND ABSOLUTELY FREE...

Three trucks park side by side on 7" of ice, when the ice started to crack two made it off and one sank, just the plow showing.

Just off the beach there are bob houses, not sure how much ice they are on but less than a mile down the island the broads are still open. The wind keeps breaking up the ice, won't be putting the bob house until it catches.
