Baitrunner Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Wondered if anyone had spotted any ice on the rivers or in the marinas yet? was well surprised to get to my local lakes this morning to see 90% of them iced over. Good job I had my Eskimo ice drill handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 What there was cleared overnight Monday or mostly - Hickling was virtually free of ice yesterday. Not sure we are actually going to get the penetrating easterly (yet?) - the weather systems most likely to be from N and NW which is not quite so bad!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Lime Kiln dyke from the Nancy Oldfield base to Gay's Staithe amd beyond has approx. 3/4 " of ice, no activities today . I believe Barton is similarly affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Overnight it’s forecast to swing SW, but still with some pretty chilly temps. Lets see what that freezes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trambo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Horning Marina (Richardsons) was frozen over Sunday and Monday, although a navagble channel was cut by an incoming boat. Malthouse Broad was frozen, except again for a navigable channel. Tuesday after the rain it was nearly all gone but with the forcast last night I got back to Boulters for fuel and pumpout then the marina and called it a very short break. A gent at Ranworth said he had heard two boats had got stck on Barton Broad but can not substantiate. Fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petersjoy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Monday afternoon half of Oulton Broad was frozen over, couldn't risk breaking it up to get to the yacht station so had to go back to WRC for the night. that was frozen over in the basin too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Nothing today between Rockland Staithe and Norwich. Well other than the treacherous boat and deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Sutton Staithe and the Boatyard marina were frozen over when I went Sunday, I'd guess they still are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorAndDeirdre Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Richardsons at Horning had very little ice when I was there yesterday, it was nice in the sun but cold, was glad to back in car after doing some jobs on the boat.

Simondo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Had to prise the tray out of the freezer before topping up on vodka! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 At Ranworth today there were a few ducks walking around close to the quay but I would think that 70 % was icefree and melting further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 We travelled from southern broads to northern on Saturday 19th and back to the south yesterday. It was very cold at times but stunningly beautiful. Down the Waveney and across Breydon with the canopy down in brilliant sunshine on Saturday, ditto up the Bure on Sunday. Malthouse Broad was very icy - we saw a boat picking its way through the ice but decided against trying our wooden hull against it. Salhouse mostly frozen. Most but not all dykes had ice, floating ice in Woxham. Monday was the worst day for ice, by the time we made our way south on Tuesday a lot, but by no means all, had cleared. Overall a magical few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Did well over 30 miles yesterday and the only boats we saw moving were a couple of BA workboats and, believe it or not, a BA ranger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a BA ranger come up Acle Marina Dyke last Monday afternoon, probably checking those tolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regulo Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I see more ranger activity in winter than summer! Followed one last Friday (18th) down the bure from Horning to Ranworth, where we parted company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Bloody freezing down here in East Dorset yesterday and before, but up to 13c today. As the song says, "What a difference a day makes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
