Last night I saw something I have never seen before and never expected to see: the outdoor refrigerated ice rink at Northdale Rec was full of skaters, while the two adjacent rinks were bare dirt because of above-freezing temperatures this week.

Mayor Coleman was right: the biggest problem facing the City of St. Paul is indeed the soft ice caused by global warming. Spending millions of dollars on outdoor refrigerated ice rinks was, in fact, a prudent investment.

I stand corrected.
