What happens after a major snowfall on the Rideau Canal Skateway? Swipe to see! ➡️ Ottawa got buried under 70 cm of snow over the weekend, but our teams have been working nonstop to clear the snow from the ice. Here’s how they do it: 🔹 Step 1: Blowers and sweepers push snow to the edges of the skate track. 🔹 Step 2: Cold air helps firm up the exposed ice. 🔹 Step 3: Drifting snow fills in cracks, and our team floods the surface to smooth it out. With temps dropping to –30°C overnight, the ice is bouncing back fast. Stay tuned for updates! ️⚠ Reminder: Snow acts as an insulator and weakens the ice, so please stay off the snow-covered edges! … #RideauCanalSkateway #RideauCanal #IceSkating #SnowRemoval
