Ianab Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Depends on what part of the Nth Island :-? Inland Taranaki, our swimming pool used to ice over.... The goldfish living in there handled it OK, but I dont know about others. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
