So I'm trying to collect some resources for finding out if / when / where one might be able to find naturally-frozzen waterways within the Netherlands. We have friends coming to visit from Florida next -- and believe it or not, they're really excited about the idea of getting to experience a real Dutch winter. I had my doubts that they would be fortunate enough to get the real experience, with the mild winter that we've been having; however, with the cold snap that we're currently experiencing, it's looking somewhat feasible. So I'm trying to prepare myself with some resources for judging where the natural ice action might be discovered.

So far, I've found a few decent internet resources, listed here below:

• www.schaatstochten.info
• www.schaatsen.nl
• www.schaatsforum.nl
• www.wintergek.nl/ijsdikte
• www.ijsdikte.priapisten.com/

But I'm still looking for more resources -- particularly information about where to find naturally iced-over waterways that would be safe for skating. If you let me know about any other information that you might be awaare of, please let me know (a comment to the Facebook version of this content or an e-mail) -- and I will add it to the list (crediting you for your help, of course), for posterity sake.
