The Kinks “One For The Road” is a live album where many of the tracks we’re recorded at the civic center

They do seem to post about the ice rink a lot… 🤔

Plenty of outdoor hockey rinks have functioned with wind gusts. Even if it pushes the zamboni, they're not going particularly fast and it's not like an NHL game where 2 zambonis have to avoid each other.

Reply to Any good chill spots for metal heads? I need more friends with the same music tatse by LordCyrusLaCroix
It's not really a hangout spot but Armageddon record shop on Broadway would still be a good place to pop in, browse, and say hello. Not sure everyone that works there is a metal head, but they have a large selection of metal records and the vibe in there is kind of metal.

On top of that, most of the school buildings are older and have poor insulation and not the best HVAC systems. And, being a city, there's probably a much higher percentage of kids who walk to and from school.

I’d ask via the 311 app about this actually. See if they can help.

Plot twist, OP is the zamboni driver

> Then he did something once he pulled off with a shovel at the door where the zamboni came on and off the ice.
Just cleaning up the extra ice/water/slush that the truck leaves behind.
I do appreciate you looking out for the worker, but 25 minutes in 25 degrees with 25 mph winds is plenty safe. Even at negative two or whatever it's going to be, it's not that dangerous to be out if you have reasonable protection.
I go winter hiking in the Adirondacks, and our early morning starts are generally below 0 (lowest so far is -17), and it's really not too bad. Still shedding layers after walking for a bit.

Ah, so the responsibility is on us tenants? That's rough. 😓 Thank you though.

It’s legal for them to just provide you with no recycling bins. I don’t see how you would have any recourse.

You know ice skating isn't a mandatory activity, right?
They reduced the hours especially tomorrow when it is very dangerous to be outside for a prolonged time.

I think the frostbite warning is more for overnight when it’s -20, -30. This morning is cold but not as bad.

All right bud we get that you’re from Minnesota. It doesn’t get that cold here. This is the east coast my friend.

Ah, you’ve reached that stage where normal New England winters suddenly seem frightening and overwhelming.
Fear not OP, for generations a solution has been passed down to those so afflicted. It is time for you to make the great migration to Florida and join the others who only vaguely remember grey snow drifts, blustery winds and ice skating.

No.. I was heading home and waiting for the bus. My concern isn't specifically for the zamboni driver. It's because of the weirdness of the city keeping something open when it's clearly a health hazard for the public. Does it make so little money that it has to run the risk of public health to stay in operation? How is this safe?

Right? It’s all relative. Look at Yakutsk. You just live with it. Everybody’s saying to stay inside. Well, a lot of us have no option, and it’s not as if we can’t be prepared for it.

I'm always wary of posts asking to be contacted for stolen vehicles or missing persons because there's no way to verify it.
No offense to OP but posts like this could be used to track down someone escaping an abusive situation.
If anyone spots this vehicle they should contact the police.

I hope they learned a thing or two about frostbite from Prince Harry.
