Cold snap

I appreciate that I have many followers in places far colder than my home area of the North East of England, especially in Canada and the USA. The cold snap we are experiencing here is, for us, something that we haven't had in the late autumn and the winter for some years. Somehow our winters have been getting warmer. Our climate has been more like a long autumn. Until now. We have woken up to frost an ice every morning for the week. We've even had a bit of snow. This may seem positively tropical to my friends in Canada but for us, we feel the conditions are rather arctic! Nevertheless, our slight sprinkling of snow did not stop the goats from stealing the chicken food!
