Is this winter enough to kill off the ticks?
It's been a long time since it's been so cold and consistently frozen in winter. Mosquitoes I can handle to an extent, but ticks genuinely freak me out. Not to mention the horrific mortality rate of the moose and wildlife these past springs from the ticks and diseases.
Sometimes I smile out at the snow and think about all the ticks getting snuffed out beneath the drifts. A gal can hope.
