It should be an interesting day in the south! It looks like an ice storm for the metro Atlanta area. If I had to bet on it, I'd guess that we will lose power. I think I'm just going to let things be what they will be. If we DON'T lose power, I want the pumps to continue the water circulation. If we DO lose power, I hope things don't freeze over to the point that the ice would impede everything re-starting. If we are without power for a while, at least the temps won't stay below freezing for very long or with any consistency. Fingers crossed that we don't get what they are predicting. It is a tricky system!
Good morning to those of us in the south watching the weather!

rolleyes freezing rain & coating of ice everywhere. Fortunately if we do lose power, our generator keeps the pond pumps running. Here's what we looked like yesterday:
