Sodium Acetate Heat Packs?

many years the lake freezes - then the water level goes down further. The ice cracks, shifts, and a huge ridge picks up. If you were to hit it from one side on a snowmobile you would get launched. Come at it from the other side and it would really hurt. What is amazing is to see river freeze.

That's very interesting. Do people get into ice sailing on the lake?

Every 5-6 years the lake freezes over - is smooth - and the snow has not come yet. So, there could be a few days where ice boating is possible - but, it is rare.

I recall a few years when the upper reaches of Great Bay would freeze over pretty well, except for the channel areas, when the tide went out the ice would fall with teh water, buckle, break up and run hard out under the Newington Bridge. But in the area of the mudflats he ice would just rest on the flats and gently rise and fall. I spent some very cold days out there trying to sample the mud through a foot and a half of ice.

Probably never at the rate we are warming
