My pond runs all winter, zone 2/3

Thanks Mitch, but I take the pictures with my android phone and bluetooth it my acer tablet. My HTC Sensation takes way better picture than the tablet.

Going to top off the bottom pond now that I have colder tempertures, the ice has grown in the uper two ponds, and displaced water from the bottom pond, which tops off the top and middle pond. Also the Heater is on more now that the temperatures are getting colder, and the open pockets of warmer water against the progressively colder air temperatures, cause steam to rise, which causes more evaportion.

Tonight going to 1F.

No Colleen, I have digital camera's , but to put the pictures on the lappy I need my ubs card reader, left it at home. I see you can take them with your phone and blue tooth them to your computer. My phone is about 14 yrs old, rings and text is all it can do lol. Lappy around 7 yrs old now. Camera about 5 yrs old, but they do what I need done so not spending the bucks to upgrade.

The new phone I got this summer when the last phone went missing, is now old, they got way better one now that takes way better moving pictures and battery lasts for days. No way I am going to get an upgrade, cause in six more months that phone will be old! You just can't keep up with technology these days. The only way I will get new phone is in two and a half years I can get new top of the line for free then, as contract expires.

Man is it bleeping cold! I just got back from the river road and let me tell you it was a short walk and I never had to call puppies to get them back in truck today!! Just opened door and poppy quickly ran back inside warm truck after she made an yellow icicle in the snow! Poppy said I must have shrunk her winter coat from last season so now she is wearing "what fits" please don't laugh or Poppy will get a "doggy complex"!

lol I don't even have a contract, they quit trying to get me to upgrade!

We are a freezing 62 here..................

I turned off the pond heater for a half the day today, because after all the snow last night fell on ice, and with the heater still on, it melted large part of the ice cap on the bottom pond, and fish were beginning to move around like spring was coming! Don't worry, heater will be back on before I go to sleep tonight, cause it will be very cold tonight!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Addy if 62 degrees is freezing, then you would be frozen solid here in Canada for sure!! Ha ha ha

Wow Collen you really are cold there now at -19F! Shiver me timbers
The coldest here we ever got was -6F and that would be about -21C..............

 

[callingcolleen1]

Woke up in middle of night and of course I walked outside to check pond without my jacket, all doing good. I am hardy now to extreme cold and body can stay warm with long sleve shirt for five minutes exposed to cold. All waterways now have ice caps and heater is on. Open pockets of water in all three pounds, water still moving under the ice and snow. Currently eating an assortment of liqueur filled chocolates, mmmmm, for medicinal purposes, rum rations for battling extreme cold, he he he

 

[sissy]

OH SURE COLLEEN

Brandy works nicely for that also Colleen
