Thanks @freedompoint! This is my second winter in a cold climate - that's why I'm posting these type of homesteading discoveries, that might be obvious to some but totally new to me, so others can benefit :)

Great! I appreciate it. We have so much to learn about homesteadimg im general, et alone homesteading in the cold!

There's lots of great resources here on steemit for learning and sharing! Maybe I'll do a post on some cold climate gotchas that occurred to me during my first winter in Washington in the near future.. you're inspiring me :)
