Does the OVAL close due to inclement weather?
Yes, the OVAL does close due to excessive snowfall or extreme cold. If snow is falling at a rate greater than can be cleared by the Zamboni, the OVAL must be closed to maintain a quality, safe sheet of ice. As a general guideline, OVAL activities are cancelled when windchills are consistently below -25 degrees according to Weather.com. However, user groups have the option to skate even if windchills fall below this threshold with management approval.
