Hi there neighbor… (walla walla/ CP) When I first moved here, I asked someone if it was a normal winter. They said no. The next year I asked them if it was a normal summer. They said no… finally after 10 years of being here, I’ve come to the conclusion that we have cycles. Wouldn’t surprise me if this year is a bit like three or four years ago when we had that really bad freeze in February but otherwise a completely mild, snow-free winter. I haven’t blown my sprinklers out and I don’t know if I will even bother. We get so few cold days, and even fewer in a row. Have to keep an eye on one of my chickens that has a large comb to make sure she doesn’t get cold, but other than that our winters are so easy.
