| I spend most of my waking hours comunicating in a foreign language, maybe I should stick to that instead of English!
I have stated that the mudponds are drained and then refill with rain/snow.
I have stated that at the begining on January there was some ice over on the ponds before 2+ months of solid snowfall, by solid I mean every day it snowed. There was one period where it snowed for about 3 days constantly.
Pray tell how a 'pressure seal' is created between ice on the surface of a pond and the sides of that pond?
All I know, living in Ojiya and driving through Yamakoshi almost every single day for the last 3 months, is that the ponds are all full of snow now and no nishikigoi would have survived in those ponds.
It's all a pointless conversation, sorry!
Mark
