Those of you in northern climes have no
doubt already experienced this. We had our
first hard freeze last night. Ice on the two
above-ground ponds (stock tanks) was fairly
thick but I was able to carefully pull off most
of it and will cover the ponds tonight to
minimize freezing. Temps will warm up
tomorrow again. This is the usual pattern for
Southcentral Texas.

I had unplugged the filter yesterday, which
is probably a Good Thing.

The in-ground pond, again as usual, remained
iceless.
