How Cold at Your Pond?
What's everyone's latest report? There is some serious cold air across the
nation. Alaska's revenge for not accepting their governor (or ridding them of her) not sure which? ;-) We had it before Christmas, but we had snow on the ground which insulated my pond so I had to be careful running the heater or it brought it up and over 40F, at which time it started melting my snow layer. Then we warmed up and I mean seriously warm after the holidays. I think one of the days was 60F, most high 50's with wind! Unfortunately we're now in an inversion where the temp doesn't change much from day & night. 32F during the day, 28F at night, the days are grey and dreary. No snow for insulation. Pond was down to 35F as I haven't had it on since those really warm days. Turned it on about 8 hours ago and it is up to 36F. Will leave it on till morning. Also have heated bird bath, for birds and squirrels since ponds are covered in winter. Though I finally went out and checked the lily pond. In 2 small places the screen is touching the water, but I'm sure they're all iced up now. That pond only has a bubbler and 100 watt heater. So give your latest cold report and how your ponds are fairing? ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
