Winter care - Tips and thoughts

[drache]

another tip: space blankets, available at any outdoor or camping supply
a couple of heat packs will go a bit further if you group your enclosures and surround them with space blankets
still I hope I don't ever have to do this
it's good to remember that for most of us power outages are really exceptions rather than the norm

Unless you live here Rhea, we experience sometimes a dozen a year.

Last year 2 of them came from an intoxicated driver breaking off the SAME pole twice 3 months apart going home from the bar. (He lost his license to drive, so he won't be a problem anymore)

The biggest enemy is Ice and wind, Ice has broken the mains more times than I can count, and wind blows trees over landing them on the wires.
