Some of the farmers are now dreading the thaw. To go out to your fields and find nothing but bodies...
It all fell in about 6 or 7 hours, there was nothing most of them could do about it - it drifted so quickly they couldn't get to their fields, and they couldn't have moved the sheep in it anyway.
Easter will be very sad for the farming community almost all across the island. (Only almost - the farms near my mother's were spared almost all of it and the labs were out in the fields as usual yesterday. They will be breathing big sighs of relief.)
