Got a late start this year, between a late-November vacation and general holiday-season busyness. Last year I filled on December 19th and was skating Christmas night. This year? It’s dinner time on December 17th and I don’t yet own a liner. Not to mention we’re right smack in the middle of a wicked cold snap that would have meant near-instant ice. If I can source a liner this weekend, we might be able to skate next week. But that’s IF I can find said liner, and if this weather continues. More to follow!
