I bought a house with a pond that everyone here warns people about...LOL A ground water pond with very little natural drainage..

So no the pond ice did NOT break up...Most the snow areas melted and added to the already thick ice that was below...The ice has tightened back up and is slicker than snot in the smooth areas.. The area I was keeping clean is still pretty clear, but kinda of messed up because I just pushed the slush in piles...

Thinking of letting the boys go ice skating tonight when we get home if they want to... Should be plenty of area for them to have a little fun...
