Never. We’d help you up take you to our free clinic, buy you some poutine give ya a big bear hug and invite you to stay. The more Americans love Canada the more they come back to the Int’l community.

Awwww, I miss making those trails in Blacklick Woods of Reynolsburg, OH when I was a kid. The trails were already there, we just had to bring in the chilled water to spray the paths and within minutes it would begin freezing.

What a great memory!

There was a skating rink that closed up and we tried to get the machine to lay the water down, but had no way to get the machine there. It was fun 😁

hanserikiken.bsky.social•81 days ago

Not me. I am a bad Dutch man, I suck at ice-skating. But I remember some winters when our roads were like that. Ice cold ground, slightly warmer weather causing rain, that froze and created an ice track. We had to push cars on out skates.

The grass stays green here for a long time, even though it's cold enough for water to freeze. I imagine it's the same there

Well, yes and no. Over the last several years, we actually had a couple of winters where it didn't snow until December and was above freezing often. The grass was a lovely beige color in October. Total snowfall was a few inches overall. This year? NOPE!!! Hammered with snow late Oct and brutal cold
