Ice Welcoming Us Back

With the warm weather and rain pretty much behind us there are a few places ready to go tomorrow and early in the week.

We have reports from Quaboag in MA, Sunapee in NH and Sandbar State Park on VT’s Champlain.

As always but especially with fluctuating conditions check be careful there are always hazards. Sail heads up and talk to those who are familiar with the area.

From Quaboag

Just got back from Quaboag, 10 inches of ice in front of the ramp,the surface looks consistent across the pond.  Temp is 37 at 4:00.
It’s going to be 32: at 11 and 24 in the morning.
I will be setting up around 10 am.  It’s there if you want to sail.

From Sunapee

The ice on Sunapee was wet today with pools of water on the ice. Lots of ice fisherman out, so the thickness and strength are not an issue. It is at freezing now and will be sub freezing all night. Wind tomorrow forecast for 13 to 11 mph from 11am to 3 pm. The ice may level significantly (I hope) and puddles freeze overnight.

I plan to be at the state beach at 11 AM (with my boat) to check it out. I would say there is a good chance for good sailing.
