[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1322289, member: 20599"] Ugh. In a moment of optimism, with days in the high 50's-60's and nights well into the 40's, we took the heaters out a couple of weeks back. There was no extended period of super-cold on the horizon. Starting last night, we got about 5-6" of snow and temps plummeted. Going down to 12 tonight (not counting wind chill). We had the hoses to the 2 troughs on overflow to keep water moving but they froze up today. So we have had to cobble together a work-around and punch holes in ice. I'm fairly sure they will be re-frozen by morning. After a mild winter, this is the latest super-cold snap we've had. Usually we will get the obligatory April snow, but only an inch or so, with temps around 30 and it clears off in a couple hours. This is supposed to linger a couple of days. Slap me if I do this again next year, please. [/QUOTE]
