I'm glad my northern buddies are starting to get the ice they love.
Maybe it's the Texan in me coming out, but I'd be perfectly happy if I didn't have any ice all year long.
OTOH, I don't want the 100° temps during the summer either!
California.. No thanks..
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
