The NHL has released a rendering of what Nats Park will look like on New Year’s Day. It looks like an awesome experience to be a part of, though I do have some beef with the added precipitation. Last week, Amelia Segal told us the last time it snowed in DC was 1989, so the artist might be overly optimistic.
Nonetheless, here’s what Nats Park looks like today. That rink is quickly coming up. We’re getting there, you guys.

For those curious, the glass isn't foggy, but the protective sheeting. pic.twitter.com/Htjzimb6OK
