Walk rounds are not fun in this weather

That and the habit of comparing with the same date in past years...as if the nth day of the month a couple of decades ago was some sort of accurate guide to what it would be this year.

I fully anticipate finding a few deceased feral cats and kittens in the back garden tomorrow (last year I found 2) - my neighbour was telling me she has found cats alive with ears and tails literally snapped off from being frozen, in previous years.

Usually during the spring thaw there's at least one person found in a snow bank , presumably shoved there by the plow
