Another day, another lie from Saudi Aramco. Million barrels of spare light crude production to tap into, indeed! Sounds like they are ready to drain their 'strategic petroleum reserve tank'.
Ah well,I guess I'll go contemplate climate change at our neighbourhood, outdoor, naturally frozen, hockey rink. It's -23 Celsius here in Canada's capital this morning. I and other community volunteers were pouring the water on (no drought in these parts) until the wee hours last night and I'm off to try to get a thick enough ice surface to survive next week's big melt when temperatures are rumoured to be heading up to plus 10 Celsius. I remember when the great white north was the great white north, heh.
Was skating on the canal cancelled last year because of warm temps ?
I went a few years ago and there was ice but it was melting so fast the surface was covered with a couple inches of slush...
In the end a new record for consecutive days open was almost set last winter. Nonetheless, the season was short, beginning on January 26 and closing in early March. Historically, the season would be broken up by at least one mid winter weather event, thus the 'reachability' of the consecutive days record. Not so long ago, many people looked forward to skating off the New Year's Eve hangover on January 1st. Another story for the grandkids.
Skating on the Rideau Canal (8 kilometres cleared and flooded regularly) at the break of day is one of life's great experiences. Hopefully,you will get another chance. You can check out ice conditions by calling a number available at this website:
