With the winter freezing cold, many have been itching to lace up their skates on natural ice for some time. But until today they received bad news: although pieces of flooded pasture here and there have frozen over, the ice layer was not nearly dense enough to skate on. Today, a number of young people have found a place between Beerst and Diksmuide where it is possible.
It will be quick, temperatures will rise again from tomorrow. We will even get positive temperatures of up to 4 degrees again.
