Some people like to skate on Lake. I understand that if the ice is not safe to skate on, it will freeze hard enough to allow people to skate on it safely if the minimum temperature is below -8C for at least five days in a row. Once safely frozen, it will stay that way as long minimum daily temperature remains below -5C. If temperature gets higher it becomes dangerous.

The minimum temperature on New Year's Eve (Dec 31) was -6C and the ice was not safe for skating.
