In light of the absolutely craptacular winter to date and now a pesky slush/ice storm that rang in the new year and turned my rink into a crusty mess, the gloves are about to come off! I'm…Continue

Hey Magnus, we just went through a repeat of the New Year's slushfest. Rather than shovel and scrape and rinse and repeat, I am leaving it. Just came in and you know what? It isn't awful. It's gritty and where I roof raked its a bit wavy, but I truly believe I am better off than if I would have tried to shovel slush (again). It was so warm and there was so much water on the ice that when it snowed I actually had a thicker layer of slush than ice. A fried of mine actually shop vac'd 39 gallons of water from the surface. still had the troubles.
Anyway, I wanted to see how you were doing there with yours

Magnus,
Really like the "eyespyfx" on your page! Also was admiring the "old school" hockey goal with the rounded frame in back...where did you get your hands on that?!

- Not sure exactly what we got. The rain before messed with any snow to make a mess. Furthermore, the weight actually broke what little ice there was forcing the unfrozen water up exacerbating the slush problem. I spent about 8 hrs during the cold snap scraping and got 2 light floods on. I'll be happy to get it quasi level by Friday when it warms. I think i am shelling on my east edge where i was pulling and watwr was most present Glad to hear things are going better there. Happy skating!

- Hey Magnus, how's the skating? Rink looks great. How did you fare with the slush?

We had about a 12" snowfall. During an 18-hour period I shoveled it 6 times. Not complaining, though...its a great outdoor hockey tradition. By the way, the rink photos on your page are great!
