PJ, those four nerve daisies are somethin' else. They popped right back up and kept blooming! Richard, first you show us an Elvis blue Christmas and now we know why they call it a 'blue' norther. Great photos. And you hardly had to step out the front door to get them. No mountains to climb like me ;-) Looks like you traveled a little farther to get the pictures on your links. Those are great!!!! But one of them showed me what your problem is -- you need to take down that "Welcome Winter" sign and bury it somewhere! If you don't then Carrie is gonna' come over and shoot it full of holes. LOL!

You can always insulate your pond too depending how big it is..I use 2x4's and put them across the pond..Then I staple thick 7 ml plastic to the boards and hold the edges of the plastic down over lapping the edge of my pond with rocks..then I lay pink insulation over that then another layer of plastic to keep it dry....Then you could poke a hole through all of that making like a chimney with PCV pipe sticking out of your pond tall enough not to get covered by snow and pushed into your pond to allow air to escape..Makes sense? I also have a friend that throw boards over his and then piles on full bags of leaves which which insulate and keep his pond from freezing.. You should always have water movement bubbling to the surface to prevent the top from completely freezing...

No, but you could probably get followers, if it works.
