Maybe it was 4 weeks instead of months. This was years ago somebody told me.

Might be a different beetle down there too. Up here if you aren't absolutely miserable then the beetles will live. The past 2 years we have had 3-4 weeks of daily highs below -30° and it did knock them back, but the few years before it never got that cold (-25°max) and they flourished. A lot of fire tinder.
