Zone 6...To Pump or not to pump?
 
OK, I am growing impatient. I want to get the pump going so I can see if the
Bottom Drain will tug some of the leaves over to the VF. Ya think it's warm
enough yet in Zone 6? Bonnie is your pump on? Robyn? Any other Zone 6+'ers
out there?

BV, I'm a zone 6er ... my pump has been on for two weeks. However, tonight
temps are supposed to drop to 28 degrees so I don't know if I'll
keep it on or not ;-) Decisions - Decisions ...

Zone 6...To Pump or not to pump?
 
Pittsburgh here--have the pump running---temps can fall for short times its
ok. My neighbor had hers on all winter against my advice but every thing
was ok with hers too.

I started mine this weekend. I think (hope) we are past a hard freeze.
Now it's better running than sitting with water in it during short
periods below freezing. Nice to hear the sound of running water again.

BV, my pump runs every day of the year. As soon as it stops snowing
today, you can turn it back on. Your neighbor Robyn.

Thanks to Robyn and everyone else that responded. I am going to kick it back
on as soon as I can get out there and clear some leaves.
