There was quite a bit of ice build-up today. This was after I melted some off. Pretty cool formations, though. Still not sure when my de-icer/air stones are going to arrive, but I have a feeling it'll be after Christmas, so its going to be a long week or more, but at least I can enjoy the ice formations while I have them. Looking on the bright side of this disaster. :LOL:

Did you really have a hummingbird? You are so lucky to have so many different birds!

It’s about as cold as we ever get here today. The pond is trying to freeze over but the waterfall turbulence keeps a hole open. I’m cycling through three feeders to keep the hummingbirds fed. Every few hours the nectar freezes solid.
