Icy New Richmond Road Proves Perfect For a Pair of Skates

An icy road in New Richmond, Wisconsin, proved perfect for a pair of skates – rather than snow boots – as seen in this December 28 footage.

The video shows local resident Casey Hatten, who uploaded the footage to Facebook with a post that said: “Skating rink is open! Stay off the roads!”

According to a report from KARE 11, freezing rain led to slick roads across the Twin Cities in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. A winter-weather advisory was in effect as of December 28. Credit: caseman315 via Storyful
