He's a canary in a coal mine, some could say.

Absolutely. If the south gets colder, then we have plenty of tundra animals that will love it there.

Makes sense. This storm happened so quickly. Bundle up with layers of clothing and ride it out. If they live in such a cold spot and aren't prepared, that's on them. It's not a surprise that our northern temps get below freezing often in the winter.

We are used to this kind of weather though, for the most part. I wouldn't be alarmed yet. This storm came upon us fast so we have to take the hit, unfortunately, but we have survived every winter before.
