How about a contest? Next year let's see who can get some pictures of an ice balloon and perhaps video of it exploding. I've tried to create those conditions again by letting the pond freeze early in the winter for one or two nights with no air. Then turn the air on and see what you get. The two times I tried the ice wasn't as good as the original time and it cracked after it rose up 3 or 4 inches. Then you just get the rushing are and geyser. But that could be a cool video too. Who can get the biggest geyser, or the biggest foam tower. Gotta think of ways to have fun with all this ice we have. I've never gotten an 8 foot foam tower, 3 feet is about my biggest.
