Nice pic.  Not quite that cold here in southcentral PA, but low 20's here at night.  That's about 10 degrees colder than normal.  Already snowed 3x, pretty early.

My pond is frozen over except for the area around the trickle tower - early for being frozen over too.  Looks like it'll be a long winter . . .  :'( :swear:

At least we're not in Buffalo - over 18" of lake-effect snow last few days!

We had 5 days in a row with low single digets and highs in hig 20's.  No sun...overcast skys.  It finally warmed up Friday afternoon and it's 55* right now.  I had 4 inches of ice in my lily tanks

Rwinn that's crazy!  I guess I shouldn't worry about my koi then.... :o

Dave you be careful on the ice less you become fish food!
