People are ice skating at an outdoor rink a city. The ice rink has a lifeguard station on it, with a lifeguard sitting at the top. The lifeguard is talking to a skater.
A lifeguard tower/lifeguard usually belong at the beach, rather than on an ice skating rink. Sometimes, an ice skating rink will have a safety person watching, but not a beach lifeguard.
Why is the lifeguard at the ice rink instead of at the beach? What is the skater saying to the lifeguard?
There's a warm front coming through this afternoon.

The joke is that a lifeguard, a safety measure at a pool, could be required if the ice rink melted into water. However, a warm front, even in the winter, probably wouldn't be enough to melt the ice rink and turn it into a pool. Nonetheless, the lifeguard, unusually placed at the rink, believes this might happen.
