Question Outdoor rinks / warm weather

Hey,

Anyone been to the local rinks in the last 24 hours and know if they're in okay shape? I was out on Tuesday and things were pretty good, but it's been warm the last few days and I don't think it's going below freezing in the evenings now.

Just wondering if anyone knows of some outdoor rinks that are in good shape still?

I went to a couple, and they were already in horrible shape yesterday. With the weather today, I can't imagine the rinks will be any good. Last year the ice guy at Signal Hill rink told us to keep playing if we wanted to break our ankles. Still there's a few of us really desperate players who will find a small, workable patch of ice and play some kind of game on that haha.

Perfect condition here in the capital.

Sorry to hear about the weather you're having.

Went to Silver Springs and it was just brutal. I'm going to the Tuscany one tomorrow and they have a zamboni so hopefully it will be better.

doubt it, not sure how a zamboni is gonna help when the temperatures pushing +10. I'd say the outdoor rinks are probably done til we get another cold snap.
