Pond Turning - 07/07/12 09:57 PM
This afternoon my Bride came running upstairs and woke me up from a nap. She wanted me to see what was happening on the surface of the pond, which almost looked like a huge whirlpool.
I've seen when the pond turns over before, but nothing like today's event. The water appeared to almost boil and the wave at the front of the circulation looked to be several inches high. Amazing to watch, and after I was fully awake I realised that I should have tried to film it.
We've had very high temperatures here in our area which I suspect might account for some of the more dramatic action than normal, and we are also looking at a break from the heating a couple of days, so perhaps the barometric pressure might also be a
factor. Can someone with more knowledge on these changes give me a better idea of why today's turnover was so much more dramatic? Thanks!
