Ok, next chapter ties this into fish...
I have found one use for snow , it is a good insulater. It has turned into
a sucky winter this January, after being pretty nice. I had over a foot of
ice on my gar pond ( record thickness). Oddly, the pumps froze up ( need
more info on why this is odd, ask). I drilled a hole in the ice with an ice
auger, dropped in a stock tank heater. Even during that evil arctic blast we
had, that ice turned to a couple inches because the heat from the heater
stayed in the water from four inches of snow insulating it! Regardless, give
me 90 degrees and 100% humidity over 20 degrees and 25 % humidity anytime.
Come on summer!!!
