Lake Morey 1/6

[Evan Perkins]

The WebCam at Lake Morey is showing ice that has been blown clean of snow this morning. That lake has been frozen for a couple weeks now it was covered with snow and then resurfaced to what looked like really good conditions on the WebCam and then got some snow on it, which has since blown off. I have tried with no avail to get local folks to check it, but I think it's a safe bet for anybody who wants to go skate it . Obviously, you will need to do your own checking, but I have observed it from the highway on several occasions and it's been frozen for quite some time, that does not mean there are not thin spots where the streams come in, but it's likely the whole thing is solid. Also a very good chance that there is some very good quality ice out there as other lakes that went through the same sequence have very high-quality ice. As this is one of the few good venues in Vermont right now, even though New Hampshire has an embarrassment of riches. It would be great for someone to check it and report on it.  Happy Skating, Evan

I was able to snag a quick skate after work from the boat launch. Sweet ice conditions with both black and gray ice - see photos. Whole lake was skateable.

Skated  Morey this morning.  Wind has kept the ice mostly clear except at the south shore. Ice quality is very good.  I didn’t see any open water or wet cracks. It’s chilly out there but the wind at my back made a lovely southward leg of my skate.

Thanks for the report Sara. I skated it this morning before the wind was too bad, just started to kick up a bit at the end. Ice is very nice quality for the most part, hard, thick black ice that was quite smooth and some bumpier grey ice that was still quite good. All of the wet cracks had healed and have frozen slush bands and the usual pressure ridge is healed as well. Just as always use caution with these features and don't blindly skate over them until you check them out, they can change throughout the day with the wind, sun, and warming temps. Best I have seen Morey in quite a while, enjoy!
