The ice is still pretty thick. I'll find out tomorrow exactly how thick. I'm going to open and area around the over flow pipe. If you look hard, the over flow is at about 10 o'clock in the photo. I'm afraid it may lift the pipe out of the dam if water level gets any higher.

I'm also interested in seeing if any fish made it through the pond freezing soild this winter. This time last year I had open water and two rainbows and the PS's winter over.
