I used to read it when I lived in New Hampshire at Lake Winnepasaki.

Pretty interesting really.

First time I saw it was after a major snowstorm that has us and 100's of other cars stranded on the highway north from Boston where we had come in at Logan Airport from Dallas.

We got to my wife's parent's place after dark; a lake cabin on Black Cat Island where we lived for a while. The next morning though, I woke up to a winter wonderland; banks of snow and a huge icy lake.

Walked down to the edge of the water and was testing the ice with my foot.... when a pickup truck pulling a fishing hut came around the shore ON the ice.

The guy in the truck saw what I was doing and looked at me like I must be some idiot from Texas. Ok, fine.

Spent a year or so there; sled dog races and wind surfing ice skiffs in winter and all sorts of boating and swimming in summer. Lake Winnipesaukee is also home of the 230' cruise ship the Mount Washington.
