The entrance to the rink still has a significant area of dangerous ice (a mixture of slush and uneven surface). Photograph courtesy of an unaffiliated ice rink patron.

The ice continues to be covered in a layer of ice. Photograph courtesy of an unaffiliated ice rink patron.

The section of the ice which is open is in noticeably worse (and more dangerous) condition, probably due to the skaters turning warmer-than-necessary ice into slush. Photograph courtesy of an unaffiliated ice rink patron.

The barrier was eventually pushed back. Photograph courtesy of an unaffiliated ice rink patron.

Rink staff at QUEENS skate dine bowl attempted to use the Olympia Resurfacing Machine / Zamboni again to clear the water, but as you can see, the layer of water is thick. Photograph courtesy of an unaffiliated ice rink patron.

Towards the bottom half of this photograph, on the left, you are able to see "The Pit" - a hole which has been present on the ice now for probably about two months. Photograph courtesy of an unaffiliated ice rink patron.
