Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss It's officially winter....right?

RAH, just heard on local news down here that that front may make it near Indy later tonight. Keep an eye open.

My sister has trees down at her place 40 miles east of Indy

Storms moving in here now. The forecast say could be heavy rain. The pond is up 4 to 5 feet since Nov. 1. Only about a foot to go before it overflows the bank. May happen tonight.

Very happy to hear no one was hurt!

Raining earlier pretty good and the wind was whipping about, but seems to have calmed down for now.

My pond came up 4" with this rain and is overflowing, the crazy thing is that it still 70% covered with ice. We are very close to having our wettest December on record.

First time in almost 40 years I remember going through our whole deer season with no snow. Stopped at my property earlier today. Threw a few pellets for the brookies. They're gorgeous, still sporting some spawning color. Surface temp was 46 degrees. Almost always frozen over by this time. We'll take it!

Good news is most of the rain missed us. Bad news is the wind is 35 with gusts to 50+ now. Heading to my sister's house next week to clear the downed trees so she doesn't have to hire it done.

The backup generator is getting a work out tonight. Power keeps going off for a few minutes then back on. The generator kicks in after 20 seconds of no power then kicks off after power is restored.

Oh carp. I'm glad that you weren't there, and that there were no injuries. The house can be fixed.

Bill, send me a PM on where she is. Indy is a few hours South of me, I can always throw the saws in the car and head South if you need a hand.

14" to 32" bars on the saws.

Glad to hear that no one was injured at Snakebite's place.

We woke up to snow on the ground yesterday morning, but just enough to cover some of the grass. I was outside much of today in a short sleeved shirt. They are expecting we'll break a record high for Christmas Eve.

Where is winter. I should be ice skating now.

Thanks for that very generous offer! I'll have my laptop and send you an SOS if I'm in over my head.

The wind was howling so badly last night the dog got in bed with the wife and I. She rarely does that anymore. This morning dead calm.

I'm on hill that faces a 600 acre open field. If the wind is out of that direction it can really blow!

Havin a 100+# dog in bed with ya could ruin the mood for a Merry Xmas eve.

Wind was whipping pretty good overnight. Went out back this morning and a lot of branches down, mostly pine. We only lost power for a few minutes, but went to town and that's mostly still out since about 1:00am.

Still much better than being dumped on with snow. And, the sun is out now!

Crazy Dec 24, 2015 Christmas Weather!

We set a new record high yesterday. Old one was 59 in South Bend, new one is 62. My place was 64 degrees.

1"+ of rain yesterday morning, then 5" of wet snow here this morning.

What mood?

Sis called me tonight to tell me the job is done. A couple out of work local guys came by this morning and asked if they could have the job. They said they were trying to get some Christmas money and would finish it today. She said they did a good job so that's cool and helped out a couple of families in need.

The tree down in the pic I posted was an ornamental pear. She said she saved me the firewood (she converted her fireplace to gas) from it and the big maple. Anybody know if the pear will be good firewood? Any good to smoke with?

"What mood" Ha Ha

Speaking of 59 and South Bend, that was my
first time at 5 months old in ND stadium.

Go Irish!

You think that's funny single guy playboy on the beach with a hot housekeeper!



Do the widows down there have to make an appointment or can they just stop off any ol' time?
