To compound the problem, there's a loose connection or a broken wire in the electrical connection to the bulb SWMBO placed under the bird bath for the winter.
I unplugged the cable the other day and this is the result.
Not water but ice, clear to the bottom.
So maybe today I'll try to track down and fix the problem with the wiring.
Yesterday we ripped out the old faulty weather stripping on the front door and put in a new barrier to the outside cold air.
It worked great and the winter weather can stay outdoors for the time.
