The potential return of the "11 City" natural ice canal race in the Netherlands is discussed as a sign of significant regional cooling. This cultural event, which requires thick natural ice across hundreds of kilometers of canals, is linked to the legend of Hans Brinker.

Utah has changed its COVID reporting from "People Over People" to "Test Over Test," effectively halving its reported positivity rate. In the UK, the government has introduced "quarantine dodger" labels with potential 10-year prison sentences. In the Netherlands, a cold snap has led to the cancellation of the historic Elfstedentocht skating race due to pandemic restrictions.
