Always relieved with that outcome...<br /><br />For years and years I'd run in circles (forward and backward, lol) to prep when warnings were issued. Eventually I got a)smart b)tired c)experienced d)pick any combo of the above lol and each fall just forced myself stock the cellar with canned food/water/flashlight n battery/blanket and whatever else seemed wise. Gas in the sheds (not to be used except for emergency). Not fun every fall but it was less stressful when the drama (errmmm I mean warnings :-) rolled in for storms, snow, ice, travel advisory, loss of electric (have I missed any of the warning categories? lol).<br /><br />Now I still battle with myself to cycle the fall stash OUT of the cellar each spring to use and then replace the following fall. <br /><br />Without doubt more of a challege (if not impossible) to prep ahead food/water or protection (such as you mentioned for bees) for the various farm-family creatures...<br /><br />For sure the winters on a farm are an ever evolving process of trial/error/learning - at least for me :-)<br /><br />Hope it skirted your place too - but for sure you were READY and that is always a far better way to ride the winter out!<br /><br />Hugs <br />IssyWoman Seeking Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940928888290866843noreply@blogger.com
