We're likely to be in the -30C/-22F range; with windchill -44C/47F
tonight. I'm not really worried if this hangs on for a couple weeks at
this time of year. A bit of a break then, so the cluster can shift and
then some more won't hurt. We've had it before (colder in fact) and did
just fine. IMHO it's these temps in late February/early March and late,
late springs (standing snow into May) that we've been having the last
few years that are hard on the colonies.
