Making the best of it

REGIONAL — The cold temperatures were ideal for ice making and the two locations shown here were ideal for some outdoor fun this past Sunday.

In the below photo, several hockey players chase the puck on the pond in Leamington’s Sandy Lakes subdivision.

In the photo below, skaters enjoy a sunny day at Cottam’s Rotary Park.

Be sure to check the thickness of any ice before skating, especially on large bodies of water.

Rescue teams were out this past weekend, plucking stranded fishermen from ice floes on Lake St. Clair.
