Anyone elses horses stopped eating hay now its snowed?

Well, looks like as of tomorrow, my icy cold water problems will come to an end. Today, the temperature was around -4, dropping to -10 tonight. Tomorrow it is supposed to be +8 or 9 with rain forecast.

Oh, I am soooo looking forward to fields with inches of melted snow and rain flooding them. NOT!!!
 
Thanks very much OP and othe contributors to this thread. Was a bit puzzled myself - hay seems good enough quality and mine were all eating fine up until day2 of snow. My livery yard has closed fields so I know mine aren't getting fluids from grazing/snow. The dehydration theory makes total sense so will start warming water.

Cheers for the info - roll on thaw eh!?
