Mine have been on the pond all day.  Temps have been below zero most of the day with wind chills in the minus 20s.  The did not want to come off the water for their afternoon feeding and locking into the enclosure.  I was out in the wind for over half an hour trying to get them all in.  Since the pond doesn't freeze it is the warmest place for them. 

There needs to be an emoticon for FRIGID!!!!

How do you keep the pond from freezing at those temps?

My pond is spring-fed and there is a constant flow in and out all year long. I actually dammed up my spring overflow to create the pond.
