Current Events > The weekly weather temp graph has a line at 32 degrees going straight across

(+) Yeah! (+)

What could possibly happen at such an odd number as 32 that would have any relevance to weather?

One may never really know what temp the water freezes at. All you may be able to do is make educated guesses. I don't know what the temperatures were of the ponds. Also, do these ponds have any type of structure of any kind on them? Do they have any way to gain heat?

If the water in the pond is too cold for you, you can do this, though I think the outcome might not be very good, if the pond is too far gone already. One way to make ice is to freeze all the water in a small container. A bucket works great. As long as it's deep enough to cover the top of the bucket with ice. If you don't want to leave the bucket overnight, you can do this in about 20 minutes by freezing it directly. Put the whole thing in the freezer. The water in the bucket will freeze the outside first, the ice around the outside will then continue to freeze, and eventually the ice surrounding the center and the ice inside the water in the middle will freeze too. You can then remove the ice by carefully poking at it with a spoon. Repeat with more ice until the ice does not flow off when you poke it. Remove the container from the freezer and wait for a couple of hours until it is time to eat. You can also use this method with milk, to make ice cream. To make ice cream, just omit the water, or use a smaller container, and the whole container will freeze.
