It was minus six degrees last night and today never got above minus two and in fact most of the day was minus three or four.
First thing this morning
An hour later
This was the best of the day. It looked beautiful in the morning sunshine but was deceivingly cold. Later the sun disappeared and it snowed more heavily throughout the day.
The main problem today has been keeping the chicken’s water defrosted. Every few hours throughout the day I had to defrost it again. The girls are holding up surprising well though. I am pleased with how well they are coping.
The chicken’s patio area is a bit gloomy because of the snow on the roof. I thought about trying to clear it but it is forecast to snow again tomorrow and Friday so I decided to leave it for now.
The good news is that this is supposed to be the coldest day and it will gradually improve over the next few days. By the weekend things are looking to return to more normal temperatures. It can’t come soon enough for me.

Glad to hear the girls are ok, We have lots of snow, Some people love it, but we will be glad when it has gone.
I have read on some blogs that Norfolk has had a lot of snow and have been thinking of you. I will be so glad when it’s gone. We are having a really busy week and as well as lunches I had a three o’clock delivery yesterday and have a five o’clock delivery today so it’s a constant worry of how the roads are going to be as well as worrying about the chicken’s – snow on the roof and drinking water freezing. I will be really glad to get through this week.
