My pool had no ice this afternoon and it's suppose to drop to 17F or so tonight. How thick will the ice be in the morning? I'll post a photo of this ice tomorrow. My guess is 3/8 inch.

1/8 inch on the sides only.

I guess it depends on how warm the water is to start-
if it really gets that cold,I will guess 1/3 of an inch.

Next, while waiting for Spring, we can count teeth.

Tim's probably gone back to bed, sign says "wake me up when Spring's here".
