When I checked my water temp yesterday I found something interesting, at least to me. I have my thermometer set at a 26 inch depth. On the west side of the pond the temp was 52. On the east side it was 47. I noticed the ice went out on the west side first as well. Is it unusual to see that much difference from one side to the other in a little less than .5 acre pond?

Looks like I can start watching for ribbons as well. smile
