I was hoping I might be able to get some advice concerning when I should fill my rink. I'm definitely getting anxious about filling it and want to do it sooner than later. However, I do not want to mess this up seeing it is my first rink. Here is the forecast for my area for the next week and a half or so:
(All in fahrenheit)

12/24 - 34/15
12/25 - 24/18
12/26 - 38/23
12/27 - 34/20
12/28 - 36/27
12/29 - 43/22
12/30 - 23/9
12/31 - 17/11
1/1 - 23/10
1/2 - 23/10 (snow in forecast)
1/3 - 22/10 (snow in forecast)
1/4 - 24/13 (snow in forecast)
1/5 - 28/18
1/6 - 31/20

It looks pretty obvious to start on the eve of 12/29, but I wasn't sure if the snow would mess anything up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The quicker you fill it, the quicker it will freeze and you won't have to worry about the snow in the forecast.

Yep, go ahead and fill now. I have friends in CT who filled a couple weeks ago and despite some snow, they've skated and been generally fine. If you waited until 12/29, you should have enough ice to stand on and shovel by 1/2. That said, I never trust anything in a forecast more than 5-7 days out...the computer models are so iffy that far out.

I'm up in NH and I filled two rinks today. Filling another two Thursday, my last two of the year (out of 23).

Thanks for the advice. I will be filling tomorrow night!
