Thanks, Steve,
I have great confidence in the insulating capability of that shelter. That and
drawing some heat from the lower strata of the soil, should keep it warm
enough. I just do not know, if it can take 5 months of complete darkness.
It will not only be a test for the maurelii, but also for the shelter.

We will see in March. I will certainly report on the outcome, win or lose.

Best,
Olaf
