Ice
skating in Juneau ia a joyous but unusually short-lived pleasure.
Juneau winters are fairly mild, occasionally getting cold enough
for skating for a few days or weeks. The remainder of the time,
tempatures hover in the mid-thirties with or without rain. So
what starts out as prime skating ice soon deteriorates into
impossible skating conditions. For that reason, those few days
or weeks when the ice is good, everyone with skates goes out
there quick!
