I could start my pump today and I now have a stream and waterfall again! The ponds are still pretty frozen over though. The following few days should give me all open water as it's going to be really nice here!

This constant 90+ stuff is getting to be a bit much down here in Az! It's hard to move except when you stay in the pool. I'm pruning up and turning into a red tomato.
I would prefer low 80's or mid 70's :whistle:

Hoping to get mine going next weekend. Temps are 20s and low 30s for the next week or so, but I see a slight climb in temps after that. I'm hoping once next weekend gets here, the forecast will remain warm enough that I'll feel comfortable enough to get my pump going. I can hardly wait!

You are in a above normal heat wave! It is going to be that way for the next two weeks. Normally in the 80's

We're in the 3"-5" range for Monday, and are currently in our longest below-average temp stretch since December. Not excited about this at all. It's so ironic that we had such a warm, snowless winter and now that we're entering Spring we're getting some of the wintriest weather in months.

Well, we've just been bumped up to 6"-8" of snow now for Monday & Tuesday. :cry:
We could see snow for up to 36 hours before the storm moves to the east coast.

They are calling for 5-8 inches of snow here. We need it badly, we are now in a severe drought. Only about one inch of snow this year so far, very little rain, and high temperatures.

5-8 inches of snow? Please let that come down as rain! Much easier to shovel-
Might be more it all depends on how fast or slow the storm moves. It starts Monday night snows through tuesday. We will see if they are right this time.

ACCUMULATION...Potential for 5 or more inches of snow within
12 hours. Some locations may see significantly higher
accumulation.

* TIMING...Snow will overspread the area Monday evening and
persist into Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...The heavy snow may make many roads impassable and
may produce power outages due to the weight of the snow on
tree limbs and power lines.

* WINDS...Northeast 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

They're telling us to be ready for 12"-20" starting Tuesday afternoon and all through Wednesday. We are having the coldest temps of the season now, and they're saying this will be the single largest snow storm of the winter.
I guess I'll be filling the wood bin tomorrow!!
I'd like to know who else shoveled the snow off their pond ice! Surely Steven T and I didn't do enough to get Mother Nature this spun up! Somebody has really incurred her wrath and we're all paying for it!:)
