Post up a lake and current conditions for those trying to get out this weekend

[burgerunh]

I will start. 

Lake Massabesic last weekend.  Off of yacht club.  Conditions were good and very walkable.  Maybe 8" +/- of snow and maybe 1" of slush.  Would have been fine for an atv if they were allowed on Massy.

I am looking for conditions north if anyone is willing to share that has been out in the last week or so.  Specifically Winnipesaukee, Sunapee, Winnisquam.

Winni... Lots of slush, snow drifts off rt 11 side... The way out in morning was ok, the walk back was really rough!

Went to ellacoya, and it wasn't too bad for foot travel. Most of the snow was hard and packed down but you still had to tread through 3 inches of not-really packed down snow. There are some giant snow drifts.

Winni- Roberts cove/ alton bay- easy foot travel, but good luck hammering through 2-3 layers of slush and 20+" of hard ice below that - auger was almost to the power head - drilled 4 holes and was exhausted-

I went to Sunapee on Sunday 2/22, and wont bother going back for a while....
a foot and a half of snow, then an inch crust (not enough to hold me on top of it, but just enough to lift me up, then plop me into about 10" of slush below the crust, after that, about 16" of hard ice.
The side by side got buried 3 times.
This was off Dewey beach and Burkehaven. What a mess.
the state beach may be better conditions, but I didn't venture over that way.

Spent this morning out on Sunapee in that area, the slush has frozen up pretty solid. Easy going for now but I'm pulling the shack off next week before it warms up and turns back to 12 in of slop.

Alton Bay - Ramp is good but 100 yards or so out the snow is pretty deep and sloppy, sleds ok and 4 wheelers not so good unless you have chains or tracks. Walking not bad as long as you stay on trail, ice very thick (28" at my location near gazebo) just about bottomed out on the eskimo. Personally my last weekend and hoping to get shacks off this coming week if possible, atleast 2 weeks early for me but I don't like the condition and the history of the ramp this year. Stay safe and have fun this weekend, one of the few good ones. Hope to see you at the get to gether.

I rode the entire length of winnipesaukee yesterday on sled and was very tough going with huge drifts , broken and refreeze areas. Did not find any slush. Unless your fishing within a 1/2 mile of shore the effort may not be worth it. I don`t think I could keep my equipment in the ottter sled.Worst I have ever seen the lake for travel with this much ice.

Was out on the north end of Winnisquam today, conditions were pretty good, a bit of slush near shore, but pretty good out from the shore, pretty firm snow pack, fine on a snow machine. We did see a 4 wheeler get stuck..
