Pond Frozen in December

This December was so cold.  The pond froze over completely.  Last winter before the level of the pond was changed the pond froze but not from bank to bank.  This year the level of the pond has been lowered by about 50 percent and that makes a big difference in the way it looks and in how much of it could freeze.  Winter has only begun.  It will be interesting to see what else happens.
