How many of you have a pond 1 acre or less? A simple yes or no will suffice. This relates to my thread on putting in piers on the ice and Dwight has rightly said a permanent pier may not be a good idea in the far north due to the thickness of the ice and subsequent ice damage. However I contend that if a pond is one acre or less there is little danger. Of course I could be wrong but I haven't had a problem with ice up to 18 inches on my .62 acre wind and I can tell you we really get the wind here at times. I have no trees to block the wind. However I don't see ice breaking up or moving on my pond until get melts down to an inch or less.
So I just want to see how many of you have ponds 1 acre or less
My response is Yes. My pond is .62 acres.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
