ice seems to be pretty good still...'roads; and paths will have more water and there will be a decent amount of slush and water below the snow....Good luck!

It shouldn't be too bad this weekend....I was out last night and there was NO slush at all compared to a couple of days ago...also, you can walk on top of the snow now...

It's going down to -13C tonight and it will be windy....the only safety concerns to have is not to slip and break any bones this weekend......boot cleats will be coming out!! :wink:

TnMH,

At least you don't have to flood the ice, nature took care of that pretty well these past two days. It must be perfectly smooth and great for skating.

Cheers,
Prairieboy
