Skating fever is rising: these Utrecht ice rinks want to open tomorrow

In addition to natural ice rinks, there are also chances this week on flooded meadows, floodplains and ditches. But, Weeronline and the water boards warn, the ice there can often be unreliable. “This is because the water level will slowly drop and this will cause air to end up under the ice, instead of water. Because there is quite a bit of wind, ice growth will be difficult on larger water surfaces.”
