Can you see that fall is at least a little delayed this drought year, or are you about on the typical temperature profile??

Ain't much better here. It started out in the sixties this morning. A nasty wind and minor rainstorm came through. It is now 36. Highs in the 40s and 50s predicted for the next several days, with lows in the 20s every night. I'm glad we're heading to the Pond Boss conference! I just hope we get back before I need the snow plow mounted. Last year, we got 10 inches of snow on October 28 -- and Rex got stuck in Sunil's driveway with a load of fish!

Circulator is in, temp/timer controller tested and ready for winter. Normal ice cover starts the last week of November/first week of December. Notice how the clarity increases as plankton activity decreases? Updated Weekly

After several years you have it down well. Would be neat to take the years and overlay them on one chart and see just how close they match.

Yeah, just about time to show the long term data set to the pond management class and let them discuss what happens. Scheduled for next fall, I believe.

An excellent learning tool in every respect. In 18 mths it would/should be a top PB conv topic. It could be a great panel topic with pics. It could easily cover 75% of every topic that happens in pond mgt.

Looks like the pond turned over the middle of October.
How soon you expecting it to ice over?

Great news for all except deer, roosters and fish. Dr. Dave is finished with his treatments and ready to get on with his life. Some happy times in the Willis home. God bless all your prayers and thoughts.
Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.

Kenc has been keeping my spirits up for quite a while. Yes, things look good. Hard not to be a bit cautious but last CT scan completely clear. Really looking forward to recovering energy after those darn chemo treatments. Did manage to scratch down one rooster this afternoon. . Susie insists that she has to go along. Hijacking Dwight's long term thread, or maybe just a good, friendly spot? Thanks to all of the PB family for your support. Some prayers, some thoughts and energy, but all much appreciated. The outpouring of support was truly amazing!
