Any ice in western MA?

We live in western Massachusetts and I waited until recently to flood our rink. Turns out that the liner had a leak, so I'm thinking of starting from scratch and making a new rink in a different location of the yard. We've had such a warm winter that I'm wondering if it's worth it to even try another attempt. Next week is forecasted to be in the 40's during the day. Anyone in western MA or the region have any success this year with a rink?

Phyllis, I don't live in New England any more. I live in Iowa now. However, I had to wait until about two weeks ago to flood it. I'm not sure what you have for a liner, but maybe you can repair it. You know how New England weather is. Hope you can get it.
