We bought our house in a July a few years ago not knowing it had an ephemeral pool (vernal pond) out back. We since learned that it fills up in the winter and is all but gone by June 1. Kind of cool, actually. It even gets ducks.With all the rain we have had this year, however, it hasn't gone away. It's come close to disappearing a few times, but even now it is almost as deep as we've ever seen it.#WIWeather
