[Diana in Wisconsin]

Last winter was BRUTAL! I’m just glad I’m done selling Christmas Trees and we literally had NO snow to deal with this season. Life Was Good!

First time in 25 years at my farm that I had problems related to the cold. No burst pipes, but my bathroom drain froze solid! We’ve spent a lot of time this fall, under the old porch, adding insulation and I had my attic re-insulated, too.

I’m ready! :)

It got pretty close to -30 air temp at my place. I'm just N-W of the Cities and right on the Mississippi. Outside of the "heat island" effect and in a low area due to the proximity of the river, we average 2-3 degrees cooler.

I blew a couple extra inches of insulation in the attic two years ago and we put that plastic sheeting on some of the older windows. Keeps us nice and toasty. ;-)
