I pretty much just carry on as usual. Last time we had a lot of snow they were out when it fell so came in all a bit miserable in the morning for food, hay and a dry out.
I never keep them in more than a day or night though whatever happens

As long as he can eat I’m sure he’s absolutely fine!
I imagine relentless rain like we had recently to be worse than snow for them really.

Take a look at the Clever Cowgirl on YouTube she posted today about preparing for a snowstorm and minus fifty temperatures .
Thats a proper cold snap.

We’ve had the lightest sprinkling of snow, but due to the also un forecast rain yesterday and overnight we do have black ice 
.
The plasterers have arrived for two days work in the house. We’d intended for them to go round the outside of the house via the patio with all their stuff but that route is lethal. They are using the front door instead, we’ve salted the doorstep. The gravel drive is not slippery, but it is frozen solid. Going to sweep and salt the patio when it thaws, which it should do at lunchtime.
All 3 neds are very good when I tell them ‘slowly, slowly’, they automatically do little careful mincing steps when I say that.

We only had a dusting of snow but the waterlogged field (and poached gateway) have frozen absolutely solid and the field is barely walkable. Have brought mine in (which took ages as they picked carefully over the frozen ruts). That much water in the fields, and then for everything to freeze so solidly has made it horrible.
