Driving by on 198 today I noticed that some snow was cleared away on Hoyt Lake. Does anyone know if the general public is allowed to just jump out there and skate? I may bring a shovel down and clear more away if I can do so without getting hassled. Paging the North Buffalonians. ---

I don’t see how they could give you shit. I have that drill if you want to measure it for yourself. ---

Yeah I’m not seeing how it could be a problem either. I’m sure it’s safe, but I might borrow that bit just to check as much of the ice as possible. ---

I didn’t know that liquid in Delaware Park froze. I know it’s not water. ---

I should have access to one of these soon. I would think that if the weather is good enough for you to jump, it will definitely be good enough for these to fly. ---

He’s a super talented designer/video guy, he just needs some inspiration from time to time. He also has access to some primo equipment. I’ll shoot him a text. Check this video out he did of our college alumni get-together. [http://vimeo.com/73052528](http://vimeo.com/73052528) ---

I was out walking on it the other day. It was solid and there was 30+ people playing hockey out there. ---

Ice reports are 14"-18" at the small boat harbor. I imagine hoyt lake would have a similar amount of ice, aside from wherever the drains outlets are. ---

> [@superfan99](#): > > Ice reports are 14"-18" at the small boat harbor. I imagine hoyt lake would have a similar amount of ice, aside from wherever the drains outlets are. The Buffalo River upstream of the Ohio Street lift bridge was measured by me as 4-10 inches, depending where you measure. ---

> [@newman](#): > > The Buffalo River upstream of the Ohio Street lift bridge was measured by me as 4-10 inches, depending where you measure. There’s a lot more flow there than in the small boat harbor. I don’t think Hoyt Lake moves quite as fast or moves the same volume of water as the Buffalo River. ---

> [@newman](#): > > Yeah they’re not even very expensive… I’m sure someday I will buy one just to mess around with… Yeah, the basic quad isn’t expensive. It’s when you start getting serious about pushing FPV out to 2+miles it gets expensive with video receivers and transmitters, viewing goggles and all that stuff. When I do it I’m going drone the shit out of Amherst. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ice-skating-delaware-park/268188.md?page=2)
