Mallozzi: ‘Iconic’ New Canaan Pond Skating Missing This Winter

Though we’ve seen one of the harshest winters in memory—with plenty of freezing temperatures—New Canaan is missing one of its “iconic” pastimes, the town’s highest elected official said.

First Selectman Rob Mallozzi said he remembers skating on Mead and Mill Ponds as a child, teen and with his own kids.

Yet this year “it just isn’t happening,” Mallozzi told New Canaanite.

The first selectman offers up one possible reason: The tons of salt that road crews use to make sure motorists can get around town as quickly as possible.
