Headed to Queenstown today for the snow and on the way checked for ice at any spots I could find. No joy in the warm temperatures. On the way home in the evening I dropped into the Lower Manorburn Dam just for a look. Found a patch of ice that was thick enough for a skate! Surface was smooth and hard in the shade. Had a skate in a limited area - enough for a few turns and a bit of a glide around. The ice seems to be on its last legs with big patches of water showing - and this may be my last skate here this year unless we get some cold hard weather.

If the weather keeps up as it is, then you might get another skate in later in the week :)
