We have had some late, heavy snow storms in the "banana belt", but the snow
was gone in a few days and can't really remember if any of them happened as
late as April or not - the traditional weather paterns in this area are
getting warmer all the time - not that I have a problem with that - I'm
disliking the cold more all the time
Gale :~)
Yikes!
Well, London/Sarnia is considered part of the "snow belt" of SW Ontario
Luckily, I live in the "Banana Belt" of Ontario! lol
I don't remember ever having blizzards in April down here....knock on
wood!
Thanks for the note!

Hi
I put in a new 900 gal. pond last fall with a Biofalls filter/waterfall.
We shut it down for the winter and used a Thermopond de-icer, which
worked
great! I have Shubunkins/snails/frogs.

Should I start up my biofalls now? The pond is ice free, but still cold
up here in SW Ontario Canada (35-40F deg. days).
(We have seen light snow in April before.)

Light snow in April? In April 1996 I started a job in Michigan,
requiring
me to commute from London through Sarnia. I spent that whole first month
driving through blizzards. Now, in the three years I was on that job,
that
was really the worst driving I had, but it's definitely not always just
"light" snow. Still, I'd start the pumps.
