I can see my fish! The ice looks about 5" thick, but it's completely clear. Looks like all the fish are still alive, and they're more active than I expected too. Unfortunately for them, temps will be back to normal in just a couple hours.

my 1' thick ice has been gone for a week now. i think my de icer/heater did that work as temps prior where below freezing. rain today and 60f ish weather for the next few days. gonna go out tommorrow and try to get my small pump going for air and water break. and check on hose for main pump/bog. I did see 4 swiming out of about 30 but those 4 are brighter and bigger.

@addy1 I love how your landscape is still so colorful, even in winter. All the greens and yellows and reds are so pretty!

@JBtheExplorer looks like even more warm weather headed our way this week... there goes all the snow! I think my pond could use some water, but with the melting and the predicted rain I may wait and see what happens.

I planted with the thought of winter colors and it actually worked! Ponds have a bit of liquid water on the ice now. We are staying warm for a bit, so the ice will be melting.
