Depends on which side you're on. It usually refers to the Atlantic Ocean and is spoken between Americans and Brits.

I have heard it more often with Europeans(that is Americans talking to Europeans than Americans talking to Orientals).. In this case.. the Atlantic ocean is referred to as the POND so we ask an Englishman... what is the weather like on your side of the pond.....

Usually a phrase referring to people across the Atlantic ocean... in other words, people from the US talking to someone from Europe (or vice versa), might say "how are things on your side of the pond?" Meaning, how are things over there, way across the Atlantic ocean, where you are?

It means "In the United States of America" when spoken by someone in Great Britain. "The Pond" is the Atlantic Ocean.

The "pond" in question is the Atlantic Ocean. "Your side of the Atlantic Ocean" is referring to your country. ("my side of the pond" = "my country")
