Seriously, we've got to have some kind of an Ice-Out Guess Contest, even if it's just for Bragging Rights.

My guess
My guess is that our esteemed Webmaster is busy enough with monitoring all that goes on with this site, with his own job, and I believe he hosts other sites as well.
It could be he just doesn't have the time to set it up. JMHO Dave

Anyway, there have been years where there has been no ice in but Ice out is still declared. As stated above, ice out is when the Mt can go port to port. Use of the ice is getting shorter and shorter. This is why I never bought another snowmobile to use on the lake when I got old enough to afford one. Used to go up every weekend as a kid for a couple months minimal. O'well, life moves on with change |

Not that easy
Quote:
Those wishing to enter clicked on a link, entered your "name" or a nickname, and then entered the date (month and day) and the time (a.m. or p.m.). He was able to track entrants so they wouldn't enter more than 1 time. Prizes were awarded for the 3 closest. Guesses had to be entered by the end of the last day of February. You may have known all this, but I see you became a "poster" last May after ice-in. Dave

Because of the interest shown in this thread I've activated the contest for 2022. I'll reduce the timeframe for guessing this year to 3 weeks and extend it for a week into March to make up for the later start.
Sorry it wasn't posted earlier but I've seen interest decline in recent years and was considering discontinuing it this year. |

It seems once things like prizes get involved it complicates everything. As was said, just have a plain old fun contest.

Bring this forward
Hello folks. Just thought I'd bump this up a notch. As I'm typing this, the are only 106 guesses. Let's show our Webmaster that is indeed interest in this contest. If you go to the site's home page, the header includes info on contests going back to 2005, I believe. In the past 10 years or so, total guesses exceeded 450-500 guesses annually. We have a long way to go.
Make your guess here: Dave https://www.winnipesaukee.com/contests/2022/

Thanks for the good thought, but unfortunately between arthritic fingers and COPD, my bagpipe playing days are long gone.

Our first date didn't go well. |
