I am in Kelowna today, flew up on westjet. I am doing tests in my friends' front yard here. The weather is supposed to get down to - 8 C tonight. If I were able to stay longer ther will be a colder snap coming through, but I only have so much time here.
These tests that I am doing are the ones where I am actually spraying water onto fabric/mesh in order to make an ice surface. So far the tests are not going too well. It may be that it is only about -2 C now, but I was hoping for a faster freezing time.
One thing that all these tests have in common is that they are using synthetic materials. I have five different meshes, all wetted at the same time, in the same place. Perhaps tomorrows tests should be all natural materials, should these tests tonight prove discouraging.
perhaps there will event be another post today...
