I admire your fortitude, adaptation to winter living, desire, appreciation for the top of the mountain, respect and caring for living creatures whose very existence depend on you, and for sharing your life with your writings. It is quite a legacy that you are creating, to be forever entrenched in time.
My neighbour, who has lived off-grid on a ranch for over 75 years told me "there is no such thing as a small problem in -40C" and it's true. I try to do as little as possible, other than keep the fire going when it gets that cold. Trying to do any more than that is just asking for things to break or go sideways :D
I hate the the cold! The only cold I can put up with is the cold on a downhill ski hill.
You are right about once it hits -20 it doesn’t matter. Cold is cold and once it’s there I am like Lucy, I hate it. Even my crows look like bundled up balls of feathers all huddled together. Feels so sorry for them as they walk the frozen ground looking for bugs that are just not there.
Great pictures! Lucy makes such a great subject.
Stay warm and maybe in a week you’ll get out to get that dead standing douglas fir.
Beautiful pictures, winter gives a news perspective, and makes view the beauty that God created. Be smart, stay safe.

How is the water situation? My thoughts are with you and your animals. Hugs
Take care and thanks for your post😊
