The ice thickness on my main front pond is 9 inches. I didn't measure my back ponds but it appears to be the same. I blew snow off of the two back ponds that have fish today.

My front pond has snow on it, but no more than a couple of inches. And I am still catching fish near bottom so the D.O. must not be too bad. LOL The bad news is we are expecting a snow storm with up to 10 inches starting Tuesday A.M. I can assure you I will be blowing off snow after that.

Trust me a snow blower is much easier than shoveling!

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