Cold and snow is the pits, it causes human suffering and most evident to
me it's killing animals. I've been out all day on the hills in very deep
snow indeed, I couldn't be arsed measuring the depth because I was too
busy digging sheep out of snow drifts, most were alive but not all. Same
as the wildlife, I do what I can to feed the birds, rabbits and polecats
etc., which live round us but I suspect it isn't enough. Of course the
urban warriors haven't got a clue, their main worries seem to be the Met
Office and if it's warnings were appropriate or accurate enough for their
area.

Urban warriors from that sprawling metropolis of Haytor, you mean
