This time of year people may be de-icing the lake water to protect their docks. For information about how to do it well and protect Squam and other lakes please check out the page at the Squam Lakes Association:

Also be very careful in snowmobiling on the lake. There are areas that are NOT safe. Recently 3 people died after breaking through thin ice on Lake Winnipesaukee. Be sure you are well aware of the thickness of the ice, especially with the warming we’ve had, or better yet, stay on the land this year.
Bob houses have fallen through as well.

Stay safe.
Now is a good time to list, not a lot of homes have gone on the market for the spring.
