This winter was so strange (no snow and warm most of the winter and then
snow storm on top of snow storm). I neglected putting in my airstone to
keep my pond open when it was so warm and then the first storm hit with

so

much snow it was impossible to do anything at all. So for the entire

month

of February and then most of March my pond was completely iced over and
covered in snow. I was expecting all of my koi to have died. Yesterday

it

was 50 and sunny. I went outside barefoot, turned on the pump and watch

the

ice crack as the water dropped from one pond and rose in the upper.

Then I

saw my fish alive and well. Today it is snowing. It is spring isn't

it?

Northeast Colorado Springs, CO. Today is simply gorgeous this morning!
Very deep blue sky, sunshine, and the forecast looks like this:
Today: A 20 percent chance of showers after noon. Partly cloudy, with a
high around 50. North northwest wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Tonight: A chance of rain showers before 8pm, then a chance of snow
showers. Cloudy, with a low around 25. East northeast wind between 3 and
5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2
inches possible.

Friday: A 30 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high
around 36. South southeast wind between 5 and 15 mph. New snow
accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Friday Night: A 40 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a
low near 23. South southeast wind 7 to 13 mph becoming north northeast.

Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a
high around 34. North wind between 15 and 18 mph.

Saturday Night: A 30 percent chance of snow showers before 3am. Partly
cloudy, with a low around 23.

And then on Sunday, back into the 50's. So, I think I will take Friday
off to do some work around the pond. I can see any of my lilies yet
because of an algae bloom. Maybe the snow, cold, and no sunshine will
temper this. LOL I sure hope so because I have not seen my fish in 3 days.

Have a happy Thursday!

Pond pictures soon!
