Too cold in Miami??
I often find myself jealous of Floridians, and snow birds like my Dad who
flee Wisconsin in the middle of September and don't come home until Late May. JOhn :-) "Lee B." wrote in message ... It will be in the 70's all week (air temp), and the pond water temp got back up to 55* yesterday and is still climbing. Now I know that sounds good to a lot of you, but when the cold fronts move in, the temp drops alarmingly. We can be pushing 80 one day and within 3 days have a hard freeze. Our poor plants don't know whether to bloom or die! At least when your weather gets cold, it STAYS that way - in the long run, it's easier on everything. Happy Holidays!

John in Wisconsin "Lee B." wrote in message ... I'm a little north of Tampa, and the same front hit us (first!). The water temp dropped to 47.5*, then climbed "all the way back" to 51.6*, where it is now. My fish did the same thing: they found the deepest spot and lined up, rank and file, nose to tail and stayed put. They just don't like the cold, that's all. When the water temp gets up a bit, they'll move around. Our "Southern" koi just don't understand what their Northern brethren go through, and they're a bit spoiled. Happy Holidays! Lee "bk" wrote in message ink.net... I have a 1200 gallon pond in Miami Beach. I'm 1/2 block from the bay and 3 blocks from the ocean with two canals in between. So one would think that we're protected from much cold. Temps went into high 40's last week for maybe two days. These lows were not long lived for these two days as well. The sun still shines here, its only the breeze that gives you a chill. The point: Since this cold front our fish are all cowered in one corner together. They don't seem to want to move more than 2'. Any ideas? I don't see any signs of critters. |
