This is our mountain retreat in the forest. It is a lot of work to get it ready for winter. We have to make sure all the water supply is drained and no water left in the pipes. The same goes for the outside valves. All the food has to be taken out of the refrigerator because the main electricity supply is turned off until we return. We always have a dry supply of firewood in a shelter close to the backdoor, just in case we are there and get snowed in. We keep fast and easy canned soups and things of that nature, again, for the same reasons.
It is very cozy inside the cabin with a fire going and plenty of books to read. We heat the water on the stove for clean up purposes. When it is very stormy and the snow is deep, we cannot even get to the cabin. The gravel road is not visable.
So, we have to wait until the snow pack melts before we venture in again. I love the quietness of being there when there is snow. It is really a summer cabin and we miss it when we have to “close up” for the winter.
