  • MINNEAPOLIS - Colder temperatures could bring Minneapolis' outdoor ice rinks back to life.

    The city's Park Board closed all 42 outdoor rinks last week because of thin ice and unsafe conditions which was caused by above average temperatures.

    Temperatures are forecast to be below freezing the rest of the week. The board will work to reopen rinks in the coming days, but some rinks may remain closed for the season.

    The city has created a Ice Rink Status grid for the latest on rink conditions.
