Default New England Ponds

Greetings All,

Trying out the new newsgroup here. I must say the infamy of its
predecessor is what drew me to post.

Thus far, I'm not a ponder, only a (lowly) indoor aquarist, but I'd be
curious if anyone could comment on their pond-keeping experiences in cold-
weather areas?
Am I right in assuming (uh oh) that the harsh winters here present a
special challenge? We average 60 inches (150 cm) of snow each winter, and
5-10 days below 0 degF (-18 degC), with 20s and 30s being more typical. If
this can be overcome, advice on things to pay particular attention to,
resources that help with climate-related challenges, etc.

Thanks for your insights...

Regards,
DaveZ
