Ice Pond
This was what the pond looked like this morning. I was wondering if someone had scaled my walls and poured detergent in the water. Or, perhaps the fish had all died and were decomposing. The water was white and foamy looking.Looking closer, I saw a hard surface on the water. It was water in its solid form, ice. Will wonders never cease? That kind of thing happens in other parts of the country, but not here.
If it's going to be this cold, the least it could do is snow. Then, at least the boys and I would have something to play in. All of this cold air is wasted on 9% humidity.

Ice is forming in Southern California? Where's this global warming I keep hearing about?
I don't know, Alan. I'm wondering if Hell is freezing over as well.
no ice here yet... just rain, rain, rain,... clouds and wind.
Madwag, I'm so glad that recovering so well.
Who would think that Southern California would be colder than England?
Be sure to walk carefully on the sidewalks in case there is ice there, too. What do the boys think of the ice?
There are patches of ice on the sidewalk which I'm being careful to avoid. I have fallen on ice in the past and don't much care for it.
The boys have been surprisingly silent on the topic of the ice. They don't appear to care, although they're not going outside except when absolutely necessary.
Our koi have been OK probably because the pond hugs the walls of our house. Hope yours are all OK.
Mine are doing fine, although I don't know how they can stand it. The water hurts my hands, it's so cold.
Do your beautiful fish survive this icy snap?
My birdbath has been a giant block of ice the last couple of mornings too, and the birds don't seem very happy about it either.
Michelle, yes, they're still swimming around, although very slowly.
Sarah, too bad that real birds don't like to play ice hockey, like the ones in Peanuts.
