My goldfish pond

CE, That's too bad. I thought it was going to get better again early next week.

Nope, not yet anyhow. Down to 5 on Sat. night, then 28 for high by Monday, and back down to single digits Tues and Wed nights, or so they say right now. I wish it would snow, but with single digits arriving after the snow, I wish it would NOT snow! Percentage of chance has changed from 80% down to now 40% chance for Mon/Tues, so I suspect we will get nothing.

Started the day great 47 degrees and sunny .I don't know that the ground hog forecasts for this area .I think he was just for the northern areas

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr CE I would not like those cold temps here at all. We got down to -6f several yrs ago and that was horrid!
My pond is doing just fine w/ the waterfall running. Fish think Spring is coming soon cuz their little mouths are wide open when I walk by. Not yet you little piggies!

JW, That's nice you can see your fish. Y he last time I saw mine was a couple months ago and they were just hanging out not doing anything. They are getting another snow blanky 2 inches thick .....and growing!

 

[j.w]

I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't see them. Just happy I can tho. Our wet rainy weather is good for something I guess. Right now we have sun and nice temps tho.

Yesterday, no chance of any precip until next Sat. This morning, weather warning on my phone, winter weather moving in. Yep, now we are supposed to get anywhere from 4-10" of snow tonight. I'm fine with just 4". LOL Going to go south of me this time, so I should be on the northern edge, and least amount. BF lives south, and he is in the 6-10" band, likely the higher numbers for him.
I was able to see all my goldfish, fantails, etc. in the goldfish pond until just a couple of days ago. Pond totally ice free. Now it's frozen over, and that's not going to change this coming week. We have no temps over freezing until next weekend, and one day we have nighttime temps at -9F! Yikes, that's wayyyyy too cold for us, too, JW. Can't imagine what temps you are having, Keith. My sisters in Milwaukee are having temps about 10-15 degrees colder than where I am.

Thanks Addy/ JW.It was at the Fairmont Mayakoba Hotel in Riviera Maya. We had almost 70 people there. It is a beautiful hotel and has canals winding around it that connect to the ocean. There are numerous little bridges you most go over to travel the grounds. The weather was ideal and in the range of 70-80 degrees every day. At first we were a little surprised by the idea of a destination wedding because a few people in our family couldn't travel there, but overall it was really nice and everyone enjoyed it.

Great! Glad it worked out and was beautiful. great weather and company!

Sounds so inviting and glad you had a fun time

 

[CometKeith]

Thanks Addy/JW. It turned out very nice and was a lot of fun. Here are a few pics from around the hotel of what else.........fish!
I could look down off our balcony and see these guys. The last picture is that of a cormorant. It was pretty amazing to see it jump in the water and swim around trying to catch fish.
