"Ice-Out was declared this afternoon on Lake Winnipesaukee."

"The man in charge of declaring Ice-Out every year on the Big Lake. Dave Emerson of Emerson Aviation, declared Ice-Out at 4:34 p.m. Friday."

Emerson said the last 'holdout,' or ice-covered section of the lake, was in Wolfeboro Bay on Friday morning."

“Ice-Outs have been observed and recorded since 1887, when Ice-Out was on May 7. The majority of declarations have been made in the month of April.

The earliest recorded dates prior to this year were in 2010, when it was declared on March 24, and in 1921, when Ice-Out was on March 28."
