Heavy Weight or Medium Weight Blanket?

I'm looking for a turnout blanket for Denny and now I'm deciding on which weightI live in Oregon, so the average winter temp is probably lower to mid 40s, but it can drop into the 30s and last winter we had 2 weeks straight of lower to mid 20sI might be getting him clipped, like a trace clip since we'll be showing this winter in huntersIt can snow here, but it's pretty rare if it actually lasts a few daysReally our winters are just unpredictableOh and our winters can be pretty windy so there is a wind chill factor as wellSo which blanket weight would you suggest? Thanks in advance!

Answer:

No it is not EVER safe! Roofing material needs to breatheAnywhere that insulation is applied to the underside of the roof deck the roofing material will warp and then leakYou have to have a cushion of air between the underside of the decking and the insulation
Medium blanket - Heavy blankets are generally meant for 10 degrees F to negative temperaturesFor places like CanadaOr New York x_xSo I would recommend a medium blanket!
