The puddles froze overnight.
I was concerned that my pump would still work.
Later in the day, it had thawed enough to extract the pump.
Whether through pumping or natural drainage, the level was down.
There was still plenty of water on the other side,
so I decided to relocate the pump and continue the process.
But the pump was not working.
The motor would spin, but it did not pump.
This was very frustrating.
I figured that there was ice in the hose,
so I blew out the chunks. Still no go.
After taking the pump apart, (it had mud and ice stuck inside it),
it started to work again. A temporary solution, at best.
