How is the bad weather affecting you?
How have you all fared in the bad weather?
All the bad weather has brought Jackson rain and some freezing, but nothing worse. Last night's ice storm was expected to bring a half to an inch of ice. That would be very bad! Breaking limbs and broken power lines would be everywhere. At this point, it has missed us and there is no accumulation. We shall see as the day passes, but the temp is likely to go just above freezing instead of just below. |

Been kind of crazy around here. |

Temps in MS are now oscillating between the 20's and the 70's. This
is when we get ice storms. The last left us less than 1/4 inch and did not break trees. 1/2 inch does break them. |

We got some light snow but now it's just drizzle and in the 40s and 50s. The ponds aren't frozen over. -- RM.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996. Zone 6.

Hi RM,
We used to live on Lookout Mtn. The winters were pretty cold at some points. I used to cut firewood for the furnace. It took a lot of wood for the winter. Nice to hear the winter is treating you well. Jim |

my plastic "tent"
Sorry to hear about your tent, Ingrid. I didn't put one over our berm ponds this year. That has meant no damage to the plastic :} But it also means the hyacinth were hit with 20 degree weather. I wait to see how much has survived the freezes. About a month to a month and a half will let me know! Jim |

my plastic "tent" Was it a combination of snow & wind, or age? I know my screen material is showing its age. This winter when the pipes froze up late at night, we had to get an air stone into the water in the upper pond. My DS found a small hole in the screen.... he pushed gently and the airstone enlarged the hole to the exact size, way tooooo easily. If an animal wanted to get in, I doubt it would take much. Hot wire still on to prevent that. I didn't put one over our berm ponds this year. That has meant no damage to the plastic :} But it also means the hyacinth were hit with 20 degree weather.

Jim Will be interesting to know if WH survive that weather unprotected. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
