AP,
The pond is at half pool, Given the lack of snow for the last couple of weeks the pond is doing pretty good. Not that I'm complaining, I love the snow, I just hate to have to move it.

I noticed the sides of the pond show some droppage in the water level, because they have a crack near the shore line in the snow. Over all it's been new experience keeping the ice open for the trout that made it through the summers heat.

The first few winters I let the pond freeze over, because I had lost all the fish during the summer months.
