Lake Winnipesaukee [NH] 2021 Ice-Out: April 4 — 14th Joint Earliest On Record; Even Earlier Than Last Year.

Ice Out 1999 to 2021.

I take LEAP YEARS into account.
This year was NOT a LEAP YEAR.
So, April 5 this year,
in terms of days since Jan. 1,
is 94. If it had been a Leap Year
it would have been day #95.
Pretty amazing. Even earlier than last year — by two days. Coincidentally, it was again on a Monday. Monday’s, of late, have become a good day for ice-outs.
I had NOT expected this year to be this soon given that it was a COLD winter.
But, I know WHY we got this early date. WINDS. WINDS. WINDS. It has been a WINDY year. Last week we had unusually high winds. That is what broke up the ice.

I take LEAP YEARS into account.
This year was a LEAP YEAR.
So, April 6 this year,
in terms of days since Jan. 1,
is 96 — same as April 7
for a non-Leap Year.
Ice Out 1992 to 2019.
So, this was EARLIEST since 2016.
Much earlier than the last two years.

Pretty early, but given the noticeably mild winter it was to be expected.
Not as early as 2016, 2012 or 2010. But, nonetheless, early.

Microlight (Ultralight) Over Lake Winnipesaukee, Alton Bay — August 20, 2019.
Being at the right place, at the right time. This, Alton Bay, at 6:40pm, Tuesday, August 20, 2019.
We were just idling along waiting 15-minutes for our Chinese takeout order to be prepared at J.P. China.
There were two of them, but I only managed to catch one. Heard them before I saw them. Quite the roar.
I have seen plenty of microlights over the Lake in my three-decades up here — but, to be fair, I hadn’t seen any in a long time till today. Neat. Made my day.
Teischan (13) was with me. She claims she can’t remember seen one before. So, I am glad she got to see two. Enjoy.

Great Article About Giuseppe’s (Meredith) & The Owner Julie Gnerre-Bourgeois.
Happy 30th Birthday
Giuseppe’s.
Congratulations & THANK YOU!

I have been singing their praises for YEARS.
How I met Julie 22-years ago.
In case you are interested. Cute story.
This is so, so GREAT. Made my day when I saw it. So, well deserved. By FAR our favorite eatery anywhere on Lake Winnipesaukee. My now 18-year old daughter insists on going there for her birthday for at least the last 10-years. Plus, I have attended at least 22 of the to-date 25 annual JTG musical extravaganzas. I have been going there since 1997, if not 1996 — that been when I discovered Meredith.
Thank YOU, Julie. Thank YOU Michael. Thank YOU the staff.
You have nourished, entertained and treated us, right royally, for so many years.
Here is to the next 30-years. Cheers.

I take LEAP YEARS into account.
I count days from January 1, taking into account leap years.
So, April 21 & April 22 are 111-days in From Jan. 1
depending on whether it was Leap Year or not.
Ice Out 1992 to 2019.

So, it wasn’t April 22nd as most people had expected. It was two-day later.
But, it was 2-days earlier than last year.
Same as 2015.
2014 was one-day off, but was also on a Wednesday.
Nowhere close to being even close to ‘long’. Longest was 132-days (since Jan. 1) in 1888.
Also, not the shortest. SHORTEST was just 3-years ago. 2016. 77-days, March 18,
