Lucky you H. It's still bloody snowing here with no let up looking likely. Fortunately 11 of our horses are in stables (including 3 in foal) but we have 7 out in the fields that are over a foot deep in snow (poor buggers) so somehow we need to get hay to them. ******* weather.
I'm sure there'd be no shortage of people prepared to keep you warm. On the bird front, I put fat balls and nuts in feeders out for them and dice cheese up for them all year. They love the cheese. In this kind of weather I put special suet feast dishes out for them and they make quite a lot of them, helps to keep the cold out.
Snow doesn't sound good for any reason now, loved it when I was a kid, sledging, snow ball fights, just couldn't get enough of it. How times change.
