Where I live we are supposed to average 150 inches of snow a winter. So far this winter I have started my snowblower once to simply make sure it would still start. All it took was a quick shot of ether. The temp did go to neg 10 F one night in early Jan. The next two weeks forecast shows us in the 40s and sun shine almost every day. My bees have a fly day about every week since a couple of colder weeks in Nov when they did not even need a fly day. Still have 100% alive. Somehow I doubt if we are going to get that 150 inches for the second year in a row. Last winter I snow blew the drive once I think. There is still time thou. I have seen 30 inch storms in April.
