Since 1888... records of " ice in " and "ice out " have been kept on New Hampshires Lake Winnipesaukee.

And yesterday on St Paddy's Day ...the earliest " Ice Out " evah...was recorded.

Beating the old record by one day.

That lake usually has ice out April 17-20.

That means an early jump on Salmon fishing...as that opens up here April 1 st.

Very mild winter. This year is the first time in a decade I could drive to my cabin in mid March. Most years it the first of May.

After all the nice warm weather we have had over the past couple of months, I see reality in the forecast. 3-6" of snow Thursday and another 12-18" possible next week. Weeehoooo!

The horrible warm winter weather is only getting more and more frequent regardless of records.

The horribly warm weather in February dropped our heating bill by $75 under January's. I'm liking this climate change regardless of records.

The nice part is that it won't last. Maybe a few days but the sun is just too high in the sky for it to last long.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Records are like top lots at the auction.
Meaningless compared to the overall direction-Ya Folla?

The lake I live on beat the old record by 10 days this year.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Since I am from Texas, I have no idea what "ice out" or "ice in" is anyway laugh

I would guess "ice in" was the date there was no open water but is "ice out" the first sign of open water or no ice?

Winter was mild down here compared to normal temps

Ice out here is when Herbie sinks.(herbie is an old yellow beetle that gets towed out on the lake every spring).

Ice out ..on Lake Winnipesaukee...is when the Mount Washington cruise ship ..can dock at all 5 of its stops.

And just the opposite for ice in..on the lake
