FEBRUARY 27 NEW DATE FOR ICE RUNWAY FLY-In

[corcoran]

NO ICE. NOT NICE.
You can land this year on Lake Winnipesauke if you like but you will get wet.
"Musketeers do not float".
Plan on using the ice runway next year.

It's all that hot air from the political primaries keeps it from freezing.

Still waiting for at least 12" thickness of frozen runway to put plow trucks on Alton Bay.
Temperature today about 10 degrees below zero in New Hampshire.
Ice as of February 13 is only 7" on Lake Winnipesauke.
FEBRUARY 27 IS OUR NEW DATE.
Before you go check the recording at 603 875 3498.

at -9 degrees in Boston over weekend I would think you have plenty of Ice by now.
Sorry can't be there will be in Alaska for Fur Rondy and start of the Dog Sled Race (Iditarod)
Enjoy.

Tom, once again you have placed me in a difficult position with a challenging decision to make. My current plans for that day include flying of course. But now I must decide between cold wet ice runway or a nice warm quiet beach in the Bahamas...... I guess I will have to give that some serious consideration. Hmmm.. Fly to New Hampshire for a day in February vs a week in the Bahamas flying around...... Will have to let you know about that. (Right!)

Paul--i am proud of you for even considering to change your plans !

Tom,

Are you going to be at the fly-in? John and I are planning on coming. It's going to be tough to make 11:30 but we'll try.

The Ice Runway will not open in 2016.
Conditions are not good.
Official apologies at 603 875-3498.

You can land there in warmer weather in your float plane.

Well crud! Too much snow one year then too little cold weather the next! I'm beginning to think you really don't want us to come visit!

This is the year you can go to Bermuda with Paul. Next year you and Paul can land on the ice runway.

Well shoot! Now I have to find something else to do Sat. Given it was 50' yesterday and we will have another "Storm Of The Century" (according to the Wx weenies), I'll probably be able to go kayaking Sat.
Even accounting for normal New England Wx and even Global Warming...this has been a weird couple years.
