Lake Sunapee Ice Out for 2010 is April 4th. This is not the earliest (March 23rd) but is amongst the earlier ice outs since they have been recorded in 1869. The Osborne family has been measuring ice outs for many years, and ice out is measured when a boat can navigate from George's Mills in the north to Newbury Harbor at the southern point of Lake Sunapee.
The chart on the right shows the Lake Sunapee Ice Out history. The trend line does indicate a downward movement toward earlier ice clearing through the years.
