ICE IN declared on Lake Winnisquam today

Though the south end of Winnisquam has been ice over for some time, only a portion of the north end, from Three Islands and north, was frozen until last night when the entire Lake Winnisquam froze.
Ice Safety Reminder: Check ice thickness often. If you don’t know, don’t go.
