Lots of ice fishermen and skaters out. Lower Ossipee Pond was fine, as was Middle Range Pond. These are quite far apart, so most ponds should be fine at this point for foot traffic. A small pond I visited on Sunday in Hebron had like 8 inches of ice and snowmobiles driving on it.

Just stick to where you see other fishermen and if it is much above freezing, get off the ice by early afternoon.

Most people forget that that the night is twice as long as the day. So just because your phone says it's a high of 38 degrees doesn't mean it's a no-go. You can also attach a large nail to a heavy broom handle and make your own testing pole.
