Did Hell Freeze Over Too?

After 8 days and nights of freezing cold today it finally WARMED UP to a balmy 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have a fish pond on the backyard and you could ice skate on it if you wanted. I picked up a cobble stone that was pretty heavy, maybe 15 pounds or so. I lifted it over my head and threw it with all my might on the ice. It bounced! It left a small dent. Didn't even crack the ice.

If I were a fish I don't think I would want to live in my pond over the winter. Do fish hibernate?

On the 5 o'clock news the temperature had already dropped to 28. Tomorrow it is supposed to get to 39. Think I'll break out my shorts and tank top.
