However, when it comes to lacing up the skates, Eau Claire’s outdoor ice rinks ares the latest victim of the warm December. Managers yesterday said the rinks at Pinehurst Park and Boyd Park will be closed till further notice. The rinks were supposed to open yesterday, but a warm week had left the rinks with almost as much water as ice.
