And that’s great news for the hockey players, the budding figure skaters and the rest of us who just enjoy a little time outdoors with the fresh air. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune the Minneapolis skating rinks will be open and maintained a little longer than usual this year…
Defying the groundhog’s prediction of imminent spring, the Minneapolis Park and
Recreation Board has decided to extend the season for its skating rinks by two
weeks.
The rinks are customarily closed around Presidents’ Day when warm weather usually begins to make the ice difficult to maintain. But forecasts for continuing below-normal temperatures after this weekend prompted an extension to March 6 — weather permitting. The extension covers 47 rinks at 23 locations.
There’s always a silver lining if you know where to look!
