And here is a shot of a $$$$ electricity hog deicer. Pond temp 42.2 Air temp last night 18, today 30 - Ice cover about 6" at the shallow end pond edge. 98% ice free. The deicer is tethered to the opposite side of the pond. If I don't do that the wind pushes it right over to the edge and I like it best over the deepest part of the pond.
