Re: Flooding Temps...?
Yeah, that's iffy...I still like to see lower 30's during the day, but you should be ok. Those are the types of numbers where a rink in the shade might be skating in three days while a rink in full sun has to wait a bit.

Re: Flooding Temps...?
A few photos of the flood attached.
We're at about 1.5" of ice in the "deep end." I presume its the same in the shallow end, but perhaps more since that end froze earlier.
Today's high is 20, middle teens most of last night and today. Supposed to warm into lower 30's rest of the week, lows in the teens and 20's. Looking too warm this weekend..close to 40. Ouch.
I know we are "cheating" with the possibility of skating so early, but I'm hoping to get to the magical 4" in a hurry so we can use this little sucker.
Thanks!,
Bob

Re: Flooding Temps...?
Nice work! You're filling constantly, right? Just keep that hose a-running until you get a minimum of 4" all around.

Right -
Filled on Thursday night. About 5" in the shallowest part, close to 9" in the deepest part.
1.5" of ice so far on the deep end.

Re: Flooding Temps...?
Ah, my mistake - I read "ice" and my brain thought "water". Good luck! Let's hope this continues all year.
