At first you think "what a lovely beach, but hey, are those folks walking on water !!!"The cold weather has finally arrived and half of Canmore were eager to go out and enjoy themselves with a bit of skating. The ice looked great, about 4 inches thick and you could see the bottom of the lake and plenty people were skating. Coming from Britain, it is still unnerving to be on the ice after years of being told never to walk on the ice. This was especially so when we could occasionally hear the ice shift and the sound echoing down the length of the lake. James and I stopped and looked at each other, but nobody else seemed bothered by this and continued to skate, play hockey and tow their children.
There is, apparently a rhyme telling you how thick the ice should be for the number of people skating and I am going to find it out. When I do I will add it to this entry!!!

It all started so well.
But then not so good.
But then it got better again!!!Ice Safety
1 inch will end your day
2 inch dogs may play
3 inch you may, but depends on what you weigh
4 inch both may
5 inch okay
