What does your pond look like ... Today?

[BarbO]

Wow, that is some major cold Colleen! And you with no gloves or hat on outside, you are one tough lady. Your greenhouse looks great and nice and warm with all your ideas to keep the cold out.!

Nice load of snow! Ours is mostly gone. More coming so they say

 

[callingcolleen1]

Lots of snow there, here in Medicine Hat, Alberta , it's mostly packed down and very little left

 

[addy1]

Calling for up to 10 inches here starting tonight, then a real cold weekend ie low 30's then back up to the 50's It is the storm has been moving across the country.

I am hoping spring coming next week, temperature should be above freezing next week during the day. Soon I will take off the plastic domes over the ponds and hopefully get the filters in pond all cleaned out for spring.

Today in Canada, look at all my Hornwort growing in ponds after extereme cold!

 

[j.w]

Hey great so now you have a spare heater! Boy that hornwort looks good! Only minus 10 wow that is too cold for me! We never get that cold.The birds were singing this morning and I think they think Spring is on the way too! Even our resident bunny made an appearance today

Pond? What pond? Haven't see the pond in WEEKS! Too much snow and too cold to even venture out there!

It's warming up this week, so I'm hopeful we will have some melting. Although they're calling for MORE SNOW TONIGHT!

Oh and if anyone ever tells you "it's too cold to snow" - that just ain't true!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Spring is on the way soon! Today and tomorrow it's going to be 7 Celsius, that's like 44 Fahrenheit! Yesterday down by my house the thermostat said 50 Fahrenheit!!! Then we're supposed to get a little cold again later in week but not the -30 at least. Every day the sun grows stronger and by March my cold frames should be off the koi ponds so birds will be happy!

Something you don’t often see in North Louisiana! This was about 4 or 5 days ago when our temps. were in the single digits and teens! Snow & ice are gone now, and temps. are in the low 60’s/50’s.

 

[callingcolleen1]

Wow!! TurtleMommy that's very cold for way down south, hopefully your all warmed up now!

Yes! We are up to 50F as we speak (9:30pm), and most of the snow is gone on the roads and in yards. Hubby and I brought out our ski clothes to go walking — most Southerners don’t routinely have those warm layers — and for the first 3 days, it was as cold or colder than than what we normally experience in Colorado or Utah this time of year. Brrrr! For today’s walk, we only needed a light vest. And the pond pump hasn’t missed a beat!
