From an email:

“If you’re in the mood for outdoor ice skating, amble up the road to Silver Spring Ice Skating at Veteran’s Plaza [8523 Fenton St] – it’s open for the season! Public skating is open every day, including all holidays, through March. Even when it’s warm out, the ice is solid.”

Which also reminds me to check in on the Canal Park Rink in Navy Yard:

“The ice rink will be open from November 11, 2016 to February 26, 2017 with the following hours:

Monday & Tuesday – 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Wednesday & Thursday – 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Friday – 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Saturday – 11:00 am to 10:00 pm
Sunday – 11:00 am to 7:00 pm”

and the ice rink at the National Gallery of Art:

“The Ice Rink will open for the season mid-November 2016.

Located on the National Mall between 7th and 9th Streets along Constitution Avenue NW, the Ice Rink is a favorite Washington destination, attracting thousands of visitors to skate in the nation’s capital.”
