Rideau Canal to Close for Skating

We got a total of tens days this year, only a small portion open and never rated better than "poor". Most years get 40-50 days, the full 7.8 open and rathed at least "good" or better.

Official report:

The Rideau Canal Skateway is currently open from Bank to Pretoria. It will close at 10 pm this evening, Sunday, February 25, 2024. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the Skateway and to our concessions and hard working crews who made the most of challenging weather conditions.

Caution! Uneven ice surface with rough patches and many pressure cracks. Due to the mild temperatures, the ice surface has deteriorated and is now soft.

Rideau Canal Re-Opens for Skating

With the temperature at -13°C (8°F) and a windchill of -20C (4°F) the canal looks like it will reopen for one last day before everything melts. Only a short portion of under 2 km will open at noon and it is only rated as "poor". If this is it for this winter then it will have been open only nine days, only a small section and never rated better than "poor".

@Kathryn Barr and I don't skate on it unless it is rated "good" or "very good" as "poor" is damn dangerous for surface conditions. Even "fair" is not good enough to skate with any degree of safety.

The official webcam photo below shows prep underway this morning.

BREAKING:

⚡ 🇾🇪🇺🇸🇬🇧 As of today, the Houthis are blocking the #Suez #Canal for both #US and #UK commercial ships as well

Member of the Supreme Political Council of Yemen Muhammad Al-Buhaiti:

"Previously, we focused only on maritime shipping associated with the Zionist entity. Today, American and British ships will no longer dare to cross the Red Sea."

Snowbot

This snowbot is coming to help plow the Rideau Canal skateway

Professors and graduate students from Carleton University plan to unleash a robot onto the Rideau Canal Skateway later this month so it can remove snow when the ice is too thin and dangerous for humans and heavier equipment to tread on.

The tool is called a snowbot and it's one way researchers are gathering skateway data and to avoid last year's bummer of a non-skating season.

The canal, one of the city's top tourist draws, famously couldn't open to skaters last winter because weather and ice conditions just weren't right.
