Woke up at 3 AM yesterday to check the depth of the ice on the pond, temperature was around 2F without wind chill. Depth was 5 inches, so I broke out the floodlights and shovels to clear the snow/air pocketed ice. Finished prep work at around 4:30, called up some buddies at 5 and we had ourselves a few intense games. By the time the sun rose I'd been out for about 4 hours in -20F weather, so I went home to shower and rest for a bit. Spent the rest of the day at a girlfriend's house, then when the sun went down we all went back to the pond and skated until 11PM.
