The CREW weathered the cold Feb 11-19th and managed to flood and clear 4 more coats on each.

As soon as Kurt landed from Mexico the weather got better. Too warm actually. There has been no flooding in over a week. Kurt took some photos this week showing the recession of the lower ice.

Tuesday Feb 04, We cleared off the rinks and scraped to get ready for Shinny. We found out it was cancelled due to the -20º C weather. Thanks to afternoon crew that came down to help.

Thursday afternoon, Kurt came down to clear off the snow.

As Kurt finished clearing, a gal showed up for an afternoon skate.

Thursday night the guys put down two coats, and the result was a beautiful Friday morning with frost in the air.

Let's keep up the great work this week. Monday looks like a great night to flood again.

Sunday Flood

Total Upper = 48

Total Lower = 50

Eddie (the new iceguy), Andrew P., Grant, Adrian, John, Peter, Craig, Kurt came down today at 1 pm to clear the snow and we decided to give both sheets two coats.

A bald eagle was spotted while we were there and Kurt stepped away to investigate. Sure enough it was a big bird.  "Eddie the Eagle" new nickname for you Ed.

Brrr. Photos are worth a thousand words, -36ºC windchill today.

Canada's most wanted. If you have seen this guy, say hi.

Andrew giving the lower a blast on the first coat. 

Kurt sending another blast for a second coat on the lower.

These are not fake eyelashes. Matthew is always naturally fun.

Great day to get out the water.

First coat.

It looks like a nice sunny day. It was too, but a bit chilly.

Adrian doing the "Makarana". Nice Specs!

Eddie is in RED. Thanks Ed!

Not sure what Monday night is going to be like. Might be too cold to flood. Lets see.

Bill, Peter, Kris, Adrian, Craig and Kurt found some energy to scrape and get the ice in good shape for shinny tomorrow.

It was well used since it has been a week Monday last that it was updated with H2O.

Koot's owner is unaware of the fun he was having with the SkateMate.

 

 

We will be getting a "Cold Front starting" this weekend. Let's get out Thursday night at 8PM and give it a good multi-coat blast.

Forecast was right on tonight. -8ºC overnight. Weathering the wind tonight...Kris, Chris, Craig, Bill, Jeff, Adrian and Kurt. Cleared the skiff of snow this afternoon and managed to put on two coats.

Ice is holding up very well considering the warm weather and popularity of the ice. 

Snow is in the near future. Let's keep an eye out an do a weekend clear if the snow is heavy.

First coats on both with a long hydration in between coats.
