Hi all,

My boys (3 and 6) had their first skate of the year yesterday. The ice wasn't thick enough for me to get on, but I was just as happy seeing them out there. Here is the problem: now that the storm has passed through (Western Mass), I have two inches of slush on top of my ice. I can't get out there and shovel, the ice is too thin. I am thinking of spraying it down - but wanted to consult the experts first. What is my best bet here? Thanks all.

Do you have a roof rake? Can use that to pull the slush from the middle of the rink out to the boards, then shovel it off from there.

Thanks guys. I am going to wait it out and let it freeze, then put a couple of coats on tomorrow night when we enter a colder pattern for a while. Thanks again, it is nice knowing there are people to talk with about this stuff who don't think I am crazy.
