chietanen Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Woah woah woah woah. You have a rink?! In your yard? Ugh. What's it made out of? Ice Seriously though, it's pressure treated boards (2x10's) that I bracket together and support with rebar and the large galvanized nails, then it's lined with 6 mil plastic sheeting. It's 16' x 40'. I have posts with the white globe lights around the perimeter. It's really nice and the kids love it (as do I). We are out every night for at least 1-2 hours skating. My son plays hockey so it's been great for him to practice skating, stick handling, etc. It's really not a lot of work to build, but maintaining it is a little bit of a pain. I flood it with hot water every night to keep the surface smooth. The one wildcard is the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyR Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just shoveled my rink, winds are howling out there. Snow is about 4 feet deep around the rink, nice boards for hockey, that's for sure! Light sleet but that's about it. Temp is 28. I think we flip to snow pretty quickly once the heavier stuff moves in as we are riding the 850 0 line. Now I know you're a Buffalo guy...we had a rink for a few years, and it seemed like one house in every neighborhood had a backyard rink growing up there... 29 degrees - very light sleet and breezy - Town of POK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Per the p-type radar, it looks to be starting as snow in Rockland and perhaps Westchester county, can anyone verify that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HVSnowLover Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 sleetfest here with an occasional flake Not a good sign if it's sleeting that far west. Thinking it's going to take some time even up here to cool the column. This seems almost hopeless for NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Someone needs to save all these shots!I have well over 100 screenshots and maps saved from this storm... I'll upload them all somewhere when the storm's done and throw you guys a link.Love how upbeat the discussion is here tonight. Not ashamed to say I'm already pondering the logistics of building an ice rink next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fringed Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The changeover is complete here. Easily 1-2"/hr type stuff now. It's snowing harder now than at any point during the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeInNJ Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Boonton, NJ (Morris County) Still just freezing rain here. Went to move the car for the plow guy and my car was a block of ice. Couldn't even get through it with the ice scraper. You could go ice skating on the road here. Looking at radar, it looks like North Central NJ is in for a dry slot? Or is that supposed to fill in as the low moves passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
