first snow today

first snow today. the wildlife pond I made this spring is home to about 16 gold fish, going to try and keep it heated through the winter. about a week ago we hit -15c and there was an inch of ice on the pond, might be interesting to see how it does by Jan. volume is around 200-250 gallons, 30-36” max in the deep end, depending on the water level, fluctuates a couple inches/wk from evaporation.. hah or birds and squirrels drinking it #wildlifepond #pond
