I'm not sorry to say I did giggle a teeny bit at this.
I'm in the SE of England and people are freaking out - over a grand total of about 3 inches. Calm down, folks.
(Though I'm liking the day off school...:D)
Native ponies are all happy as larry, TB is having a melt down because two and half flakes brushed against his forelock.
 
My husband work both in Finland and Bavaria for many years .Everything went on as normal in for worse weather than this -20 !!!!regularly a d for months not a few days. Here in west Wales no snow just very cold bowser set up to replenish the troughs horses out 24/7 with open barn well strawed up bags of hayllege o!dies well rugged up.Britain needs to get a grip!!
 
lots of snow today, with heavy snow still falling. Horse is now in a 300g rug, they were done this morning and given plenty of haylage, dreading tomorrow morning though if this carries on.
 
Here in Kent we had 8.5 inches of snow and its -11. Yes I'm sure other countries cope fine bla bla bla but it's highly unusual for the UK and we aren't set up for it.
 
I’ve just tried to battle to the yard through blizzards and drifting snow. My car was fine but I’ve tried to help dig out a car, met a digger who was shifting snow to Jp avail and all routes were blocked by abandoned cars. It’s still snowing now and some drifts are 5 feet deep
