Hey everyone. You guys asked the same question. Sorry I forgot to add some important info to my question. Well, I live in Northeast Pennsylvania, and pa has potential to get very nasty. The past couple years have been mild considering our area. But there are times it can drop below 0 for days at a time. Snow is the same. One winter we can get slammed with blizzards. But like last year we barely got a foot all winter. If I look on the map I'm directly on the boarder of zone 5 and zone 6. So I just go with being in zone 6 to be safe. From what you all told me I think I'll go with the cold box. I have a awesome side if my house to put it in but it faces north/west. The south side of my house has no where to dig up for a box. I really appreciate everyone's input, I really do. I'm just nervous because I don't want my time and effort go down the drain, ya know? If theres anymore info you guys can give, I'm all ears. Again I appreciate your time.
