Overwintering in New York

How will top bar hives look over winter in New York? If there's a huge blizzard forcast, what to do?

Wrap? How to insulate?

I wonder how Ray Tousey protects his bees when the temps are supposed to drop a lot below 0 degress.

Techniques

I drilled holes in the bottom of my top bar boxes and raised them up off the ground another cement block high in December. Layed a board of foamcore across the top of the bars and under my slanted cover roof. There's a vent up top still.
