Ice and Wind

[beige_alert]

What is ice skating like during a “wind advisory?” Well, one quadrant of the rink is really, really fast, and the opposite quadrant is really, really slow! I did a frighteningly fast half-lap on the downwind side, and some really slow skating on the other side. Once, going backwards, the wind got so strong I came to a stop in spite of my best efforts to keep moving. The blowing snow added to the drama. Lots of fun. Lots of giggling while struggling in the wind.
