== | == Weather conditions == | ||
We track weather conditions in real time around the GTA among our network of members. This way we know exactly what is getting wet or not as well as where the rain or snow is moving from and going to. | |||
* | |||
* | In case of adverse weather conditions occur, some skaters may skate but not as an event. A notification is sent 1h to 3h prior to the event time to let attendees know if the event is cancelled, postponed and or if we will be going to an indoor location as replacement. | ||
* Strong wind: [[Speedy]] does not organize or hosts events with winds above 35 km. | |||
* If it rains: [[Speedy]] does not do events on wet surfaces and the event will change the date. (''see frequency of events''). | |||
* If it snows: [[Speedy]] may organize [[inline skating]] events if the skating area is clear of snow and or slush. | |||
* During winter and off [[inline skating]] season any ice skating events organized and or hosted by [[Speedy]] will be a fluke. | |||
* Events that are prevented to happen outdoors due to weather adversities, may be transferred to an indoor location. | |||
'''Note''': The month of April is notoriously known for rain, therefore schedule changes and or cancellations are expected | |||
