Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 103500, member: 3087"] Cool pics, Herz! LOVE pic #5, as it looks like someone from above is zeroing in on your pond, like there is a spotlight on the pond! And the others the way your camera flash made those snowflakes light up! Thanks for sharing. The floating heater I have is the coil on the underside with the floating part above it, so when I set it down on the ice, and it began to melt, any amount of wind would have moved it; however, the real problem was that the cord was cold, and had been coiled for a long time, so it was simply trying to coil back on itself, thus pulling the cord next to the heating element. I do have GFCI outlets on the corner of my deck, FINALLY, as I had been asking the electric company to get that done for 4 months, and they finally did get it done in October. So, I suspect it would have grounded out the heater, but I would not have wanted to find out if any fish got hurt in the millisecond before that happened. Good grief, supposed to be 56 today and 60 tomorrow here. Only 4 days of low temps below freezing in the next 10, although we all know that could easily change. Glad you're having a mild winter, too, Herz. Not having to shovel, that's a nice change for once, huh?! [/QUOTE]
