Default frozen pond

immediately get a drive and a spade bit and drill some holes, drop an airstone down
in there.... it will allow noxious gases to escape and add some oxygen. if your pond
is reasonably deep (more than a few inches) you might try drawing the water in the
pond down so there is 2-4 inches of air space under the ice. that should work for
the rest of winter. Ingrid

Hubby just discovered that our pond pump quit and pond is frozen. I've
heard people had that happen before and fish still survived. Is there any
possibility of that?
