This is my first year building a rink in Central Mass and have learned most of the issues discussed in this forum first-hand. From adding height after filling started, to filling too soon with 5"of falling during the latter part of the filling process this has been quite the learning experience. The ice is starting to shape-up with approx. 2/3 of the 32' x 48' rink fairly smooth and skatable. Enough of the background, my question:
The weather forecast starting mid next week is for temperatures for three days near 40 with nighttime temps in the low 30's. Any thoughts on what I should expect from this temperature change. Anything that I should do eforehand and what is the best way to recover (if temperatures cooperate).
