The bowl just keeps getting deeper and the aerator hole just keeps getting smaller as the ice thickens even more. Probably have a good 16 inches now.


Bill, if that's what it looks like then I think you are loosing water from your pond.............


I suspect you are correct. It is a water table pond.


My back three ponds did that at first but no longer do that.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
