Ice-Out

"Ice-out" on Lake Winnipesaukee was declared by Dave Emerson of Emerson Aviation at 12 PM on Easter Sunday. The last floe to break up was here in Meredith on Meredith Bay; this slab finally was pushed underwater by heavy winds and broke up.

Sadly later Sunday afternoon those same heavy winds also fanned a huge fire at the southern end of the Big Lake in Alton Bay, destroying over 40 seasonal homes.
