It's real Oh-let-me-see-thy-footmarks-and-in-them-plant-mine-own weather out there. My mother says the way to deal with it is to put alpaca fluff or hay in your boots. We got hay round to all the alpacas before the sun got too low, but it's nearly gone now. The thaw stopped a couple of hours ago, and the snow that's left we're stuck with. In places which have been shady all day the snow is eight or nine inches deep.
Unfortunately I can't find my proper camera so these pictures are from my mobile phone, and not very good.

It's going to take ages for my toes to defrost.
