Voted 10/10 | I have an acquaintance who lives in eastern Idaho (near Wyoming) where they get seriously nasty winters. It's also ranch country, lots of sheep, lots of cows. One winter back in the early 90's, they had a week-long cold spell where the temp never got above -10F (about -20C). To make matters worse, a storm came through, blowing snow and blocking most of the sun. Two deer took shelter near some haystacks in a field across from his house and froze to death while standing. For a couple weeks they remained standing there and when kids would come by they would say to their parents, "Look Mom! Deer!" He didn't have the heart to correct them.
There's your bummer for the day! | | Posted Jan 14, 2010 1:04 pm |

Hasn't voted | Sheep fare better with their super thick coats. They often survive buried in snow drifts agaist hillside walls. We only get that up on the high open moor, otherwise they are brought into the barns. | | Posted Jan 14, 2010 2:28 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Unfortunately this is open-range country. Quite a few stock was lost that winter as well. The sheepers take their flocks south, for the most part. | | Posted Jan 14, 2010 2:58 pm |
