Hello to Everyone Up North! :-)
Yep, I can definently identify with everyone who lives in a cold climate, whoa nelly! We live in the middle of the valley floor and the wind is vicious more times than not.....normal winter temps hover
between the teens and single digits until January when we have 2-3 "arctic" weeks when the temps usually hit 20-30 below zero and stay there. Trucks have to be plugged in to be able to start the next day
and thats IF they decide to cooperate. It's a "hurry the heck up!"
experience to run outside and bring in some firewood during that time. Winter runs 6-7 months out of the year here with snow not uncommon in April, May and June as well. I live near Yellowstone at
an elevation of 5,714 feet.
Bev......regarding the chicken situation, you see what the weather is
like here. We had a 10x12 insulated coop with 2 heat lamps. Winter
was hard on the chickens and when we lost most of them, it was during that arctic period that I mentioned above.
