[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 520926, member: 5601"] msscamp We’re saying the same thing. Our cold weather rolls in out of the NW and when it hits the warm air it causes rain and a rapid temp change. I’ve seen it go from clear and 70 degrees to freezing rain in about 3 hours. I had no cases of pneumonia this winter and I attribute that to the facts that we only had slow temp changes and only two freezes that put ½ inch of ice on the waters, even though we had a lot of rain. The other thing I attribute it to is that at the onset of wet cold weather I roll some hay down a hill and the babies bed down on the waste and in the hay rings to stay off the cold wet ground. But you all are correct about spring and fall, as in some areas you do have the same rapid weather changes that seems to only occur here in the winter. I know that when I was in PA spring and fall was the prime pneumonia season as winter had little temp changes and no rain (just snow). It was cold all winter. SL [/QUOTE]
