Watching the weather should not be this stressful. I'm swearing off radar loops until 11 PM

January 2017 was so consistently cold that not only ponds but some lakes became skateable.
The fen is so shallow as well, in the summer it mostly dries up. Canal skating in the Netherlands is happening this week. On a side note it takes guts and skill to parallel park there.

That really helps. If only this cold snap had gone on for a few more days.
It's called clown range for a reason.

People were already skating on the ponds and small local lakes by the second week of December '16 here. Just after Christmas the larger lakes became skateable until the warmup in mid/late Jan.

Yup, he used to post here back in the day.

I think Nito scared him off. :shh:
