Hi Everyone,
This is just a venting post as nothing can be done at this point..
I live in Mass where the temp has not hit 10 degrees in close to 3 weeks. My pond and waterfall has frozen over and we had to shut off the pump this morning due to not enough water getting to the pump. I'm sure you all know that sucking sound! First time in 9 years. Somewhere in the waterfall I have a leak and every 2-3 days (sometimes less) I have to drag out 100 feet of hoses to add water to the pond. I just did it 2 days ago and the pond needs water again. I work and I am out of the house 13 hours and my SO had to be somewhere else today.
I'm pretty sure my goldfish have died. The pond is deep enough (3.5 feet) but there is no exchange of gases at this point. I had set up an aquarium to bring them in (there are 4) but I couldn't catch them and this makes me very sad I didn't try hard enough.
I've never experienced this much cold weather for this long. Its awful.
