I live in Stockholm, Scandinavia, which is about the northernmost limit for
European polecats.  If you look at a map, you can see it's actually north of
Churchill, but we don't have that kind of climate (I think it's more like
New England).
 
And it seems like it's not a perfect climate for ferrets year round.
Yesterday evenening, it was kind of cold and none of them wanted to be
outside more than half an hour, compared to much more than one hour earlier
this autumn.
