It is also one day closer to Ice Out being declared on Lake Winnipesaukee which also means it’s one day closer to our boating season starting.

The big lake never froze over entirely and Ice In was late. (Ice In is declared when all 5 ports of call for the MS Mount Washington cruise ship are iced over.)

I know it has been a disappointing winter for me, not seeing the temperatures or snowfall we usually see during a New Hampshire winter.

During my travels while running errands yesterday I drove along a road that has a broad view of the lake and the one thing that stood out was the lack of ice. While there was ice in the smaller bays and coves, the main body of the lake was ice free between the southern and northern shores as far as I could see.

If the Biden administration continues with its increasingly unconstitutional behavior, the answer is yes.
Certainly the Biden-caused border crisis in Texas is indicative of the Biden Administration’s disdain for the Constitution, its skirting of law and, as another indicator, its malicious pursuit and persecution of its political enemies.
