I guess we are even as we also got a massive dump a week ago. Just when the pond had clear water over about 3sf. Had to go out and scrape away the snow from the deicer and falls to get open water to the top. I have fish and they really need to venting and oxygen exchange. Been running in the low teens for a week, but it can't hold out much longer.

Guess I will have to decide on a shape and bend some limbs??? As a purist I know you don't believe in using metal frames, but I am not very good at 'winging it.' Course, I don't have to create the Taj Majal first off the bat I guess. LOL. I KNOW. I could just let one grow up one stem (trunk) and make a lollypop out of it. Might even manage to see it done before I 'go into the light.' Sorry, I am of the black Irish humor. It has to be done in no later than 20 years. Then, maybe I could just let it grow more and then make TWO balls, one over the other. Might work and what a fun project. Not necessarily a good one for someone as impatient as I am ,but worth a shot. Thanks for the article, and I will post results in a year or so? ROTFL
