I know there are lots of different takes on this topic...
Would it be a huge rookie mistake to flood on Thanksgiving evening here in Minneapolis? Starting that evening the lows are projected to be: 24, 22, 29, 22, 23, 25, 21, 16. Highs in the low to mid 30’s but with some sun (which probably means melting, eh?)
My rink is very small (12 x 37 for the little ones). Approximately 5.5 inches deep in some spots, but the bulk of it around 4 to 4.5 inches.
Would it be smarter to wait for consistent lows in the teens and lower high temps?
