You southeeners can send your snow up here . We need some .
Friggin temps are staying to high for our hockey pond to freeze ! Urgh ..
Last year we had to play boot hockey @ the Stanley Id Pond Hockey tournament. Stanley is over 5000’ and usually one of the coldest towns in the lower 48 along with International Falls MN . That was in January ! This years tournament is next week .
I am praying for below zero ! Lol

What he said!

Setting aside the pond hockey mentions, there's been talk on the radio that we're starting to go into a snow drought here. (Yeah, that's a "thing" for y'all down South.) A snow drought. In Minnesota.

And cold, while good for pond hockey, doesn't do us much good, as a lot of rural people rely on a layer of snow as insulation for their septic systems so they don't freeze. No snow= more chance of a frozen septic system, and that ain't good.

Yeah, we need the snow.

Now, as for pond hockey, up until 2013/2014 I used to skate with some buddies in the annual pond hockey tournament in Mpls, but I gave it up when my ankles and feet couldn't take the beating from the rough ice anymore. Never knew what the weather was going to be like: -10*, or +35*, and it was always different. But always lots of fun! And I miss it.
