OAT today never got over 65F
Pond is right at 60F on North side of house, sun after noon only.
String algae is growing, uneaten?
Minnows do not go after flake food on surface with the old enthusiasm.
USDA Zone 6a.

Huge drop this morning.
Frost on all the rooftops and the pond at 48*F
Should I turn the pump off?

I had the same question for Ingrid. I believe she said that she was turning
off her waterfall, as the exposure to the cool night air would cool the
pond. I would imagine the fountain would be even worse. I was thinking of
leaving the pump running just under the surface with the fountain head
removed. This would still provide some aeration, but would not have the same
cooling effect.
