We got about 5 inches yesterday. And it is bitter cold here on our side of the hill. We have to put the dogs in the shop and garage and let them out in shifts to go potty. It is too cold for them to sleep outside even in their heated dog houses. We tried putting a flap on the dog house door but one keeps tearing it off...lol
Besides any little opening for wind and cold to get in doesn't help their old bones. We put a couple of layers of old carpet down, a oil heater (the old radiator looking type) and they are safe from the wind and cold.
With the wind chill it is down around -25 outside for the next couple of nights.
