I am an outdoor person, and I don't mean ski trips to colorado. I get up everyday and the first thing I do is look out the window, (or door) and then go out. I fiddle around with my mini cows, sheep, dogs etc.. And check a few plants and go from there. I am the sunshine vitamin queen! :)
Zero degre weather is just too difficult to get a whole lot of enjoyment from being outside. I do bring in wood for the wood stove. Even in below zero weather that could be construed as fun, but after a few months of that....and forget about feeding and WATERING animals in that weather, but the choice would be to just let them die.
I did hear from a friend of a family who moved to NW MT and built some sort of greenhouse that they could grow in even in the winter. I am thinking it was a pretty pricey startup, and complicated to heat. I would have to ask again to remember more details.

| I think the cold will be the biggest shocker for those who have lived in warmer places. I came thru this area in '05 right after Labor Day and ran into an early snowstorm! This area is also noted for late season spring snowstorms. Now, 100 degrees summer days don't seem too intimidating after living several years in SW Arizona. I think overall it would be a great place to live, just be prepared. It's much different than California or the southern tier states. --- On Sun, 5/15/11, Joy Pickens <lilyklink@yahoo.com> wrote:
