				Ice reports?
			 
 I saw some skaters on oldham pd in Pembroke yesterday, but no flags. I hope to hit some local ice on Sunday.  How's the ice in your neck of the woods? |

Most of the lakes region smaller  N.H.)  lakes have safe ice for foot traffic.. but caution must be used because of the wind factor...the big lake( Winni) caught all the way to Rattle snake on Wednesday.. |

				 | I've seen foot prints out to the middle and then a big water spot where you can see that water definitely came up through cracks and then foot steps with a wider gait back to shore. 
 Just because they live near harvard doesn't mean they're scholars… I drive by it almost every day from the elevated pike to the Allston tolls and am always amazed at the amount of tracks going across the river.

				 | theres good ice in northern CT, and good pike reports so far.  PLUS-  the state stocked trophy seeforellen-strain Browns into several lakes  (like 15-20 pounders) that would be interesting to pull through a 6" hole |

I just want to know it's safe. The ponds in Pembroke are active with skaters and fisherman, only report I got was 4" of ice and perch, I hope to cutting holes tomorrow.
