I'm lamenting this winter/the demise of outdoor skating rinks, and then I see the 'fifth opportunity' for a semi-significant (well, 5 inches would be) snow dump over night. PWL should dance, dance, dance. Hope it holds to its potential. :+) Thanks for the update.WeatherGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741160280149154934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-78507935092916968352021-02-27T04:37:09.421-06:002021-02-27T04:37:09.421-06:00GAME ON!

I read that the Mpls Park Board is closing all skating rinks and that Lake of the Isles closed 2/25 due to warming temps. That rink was still closed late December (I was walking the lakes daily until the big blizzard came through in late Dec). I remember people skating on what I considered very thin ice/near open water, and the warming house was not open/signs were posted about weak ice in late Dec. So the rink was only open around two months. That seems FAR less than 'in the olden days.' Wow for this year! Is that the new norm or just this year's bizarre winter?WeatherGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741160280149154934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-84927036328063333042021-02-26T17:13:51.594-06:002021-02-26T17:13:51.594-06:00I made a wild guess couple weeks ago that today wo...I made a wild guess couple weeks ago that today would hit 50*.<br />Even though it didn't,(43* here) I'll just guess that this is the forefront of a string of 40's soon to follow.<br /><br />Choo Choo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-89788059152887280022021-02-26T08:43:06.983-06:002021-02-26T08:43:06.983-06:00I've seen the outlook and I'm loving it. ...I've seen the outlook and I'm loving it.

About 66% of that snow has fallen on four separate days: October 20, November 10, December 23, and January 23." Thus, even though it's warming up, winter is probably far from over. It's only February, after all! "Bring it," as PWL always says.
