Despite Cold, Ice Still Isn't Safe In Berlin: Town

BERLIN, CT — Local officials said all municipal skating areas and ponds are not safe to use, even though the temperatures have been frigid this week.

According to the Town of Berlin, the public grounds department attempted to plow the ponds for the "kids to enjoy a fantastic weekend of skating."

But what they found was an unusual natural feature that seems to contradict the weather of the week.

Town officials said crews "discovered a double layer of ice with water trapped in the middle, which means the ponds are no longer safe for skating."

" Please be safe and stay away from the Ponds until further notice," wrote the town.
