Poll: What are your temps today?

This morning we had rain, for the first time in a long time. Youngest teenage
son put on jeans instead of shorts to wear to school. Looked at the pond and
decided to get the floating frogbit out this weekend. Have no idea what the
water temps are, thermometers have come and gone around here, mostly gone where
ever the labradors have decided to store them and I've given up trying to keep
one. When jj stops feeding I stop feeding.

What a difference a warm night makes. Shady ponds have been sitting at 55F
for several days. Overcast moved in last night, low didn't get down below
61F, so ponds were back up to 60F by this afternoon.

K30, I'm only feeding once/day now, wheat germ spring/fall type stuff
and/or peas. ~ jan

I haven't taken the temp of the water, but the lilies still have blooms coming
up, the pads aren't quite as big as before, but they are still coming up. Some
of the other plants are slowing down. By the end of this month, we will have
had our first frost, so we will cut the plants back then.

Yep, sure won't be any on TV.

I'm in the same ice boat as Colorado. Not good.

Pond temp on 3Oct,04 was 57F. Colorado, Zone 6. Won't be long now
until the fish will all be settling in for their long winter's nap.
