We are having one snowy cold winter it commenced on Boxing day & has'nt stopped. we have never had it so cold. Talk about 'You've never had it so good" no doubt this is delayed action, the good will follow. I took 5 bks of corn & one large loaf out to Kew for my friend, the geese duck & other birds. Their was great commotion when they saw me, I was food. When I got to the lake some people were skating on it, I walked & walked in the virgin snow untill I came to the running water & a patch where it was not frozen & their they all were. After feeding them I sat under some evergreens with them all around me a robin almost on my knee, took out my thermos hot coffie, said how sorry I was that they couldn't share it & waited untill the snowstorm abated frozen but happy.
