SKATING is NOT the same thing at all as running on ice with ice
karen, the one and only reason i mentioned skating was to indicate that groomed ice is a year-round phenomenon, whereas winter (as mentioned in the beginning of the thread) is a source of ungroomed ice all over the place. hplease try not to be distracted by my most idle musings, but stick to the topic of interest. --vicka (who does not currently know how to skate, but is told by friends who do that "pond" and "rink" are totally different animals)
