Ice In - Ice Out

Amazing what a difference a week can make!

Last week this was hard ice from 3/4 to 2" in various spots.

Buoys Fall Pull Out

Saturday October 28 Carl, Andrew, Will and Captain Mary removed the 30 + buoys from Hancock Pond.

A big thanks to Mary for use of boat and Captains services, Dick for use of beach and of course all of you pictured here.

Water Level

I checked the Dam gate Saturday am and the gate was wide open.  These 3 and 4 inch storms are becoming the norm and will cause us to reconsider past practice as a guide for present day management of the dam.
