mack 44 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 Never too cold just off the poll. I've played in -15F and then you factor in the chill from skating around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 I voted below -20C as being too cold. I've been out in -24C with the sun and little wind, but it wasn't fun even while wearing double layers. I'd still take the -20's over the slush we're getting this week though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tokes 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 There hits a point where it gets so cold that the ice just chips and cracks up, instead of getting snowy like it normally does. -20 is a good place to stop playing, for the ice's sake. My Uncle set up boards and everything at his acreage, once it gets and stays at -30 it is so cold that when you try and flood the water freezes basically instantly and the ice gets totally pebbled, and then you have to zamboni it.
