20 below zero is exteremly cold specially if you guys

are not use to that kind of cold and can be dangerous to be out in

for long periods of time. I am not sure where you live at, but here

our back country has recieved a great deal of snow this last week

and with that it could have it's own risks. At 20 below zero I never

go outside for long periods of time even when I am well dressed for

that kind of temp. The longest I spend outside at one time is maybe

an hour. I didn't write this email to scare or frighten you, but

more to inform you about the type of conditions that you mentioned.

It sounds like you might even live somewhere near me, maybe not in

MT but somewhere in the west. If I have frighten you I am sorry for

that.

Hi :

The cold is definitely one of the many reasons for my concern. Caitlin is

definitely not used to long extended periods of cold weather. In VA, the

weather she is used to, it would be 30 one day and 70 the next! She is also a

little pipsqueak of a girl.....petite with no 'extra' fat on her (unlike Mom

LOL) and sleeps with (in a heated room/house) about 8 blankets (including down)

and a dog LOL. She also is hypothryoid and gets cold very easy. Twenty

below is crazy cold!

No, you didn't frighten me. I know the risks of severe weather and how easy

it is to get into trouble fast. How long is the winter in MT? We are in

NH. They go to a town in upper (way upper) NH. It borders Canada!

Thank you for your honesty and words of wisdom .

Take care and stay warm.

Patty
