The frosts certainly aren't as bad out here and the snow doesn't get a chance to build. I used to live in a valley too, surrounded by hills. I know what you mean about the ice! Good to hear you had nice, clear weather though. It was fairly clear and crisp out here too, and there was...

We may get ducks at some point; apparently they like eating slugs more than chickens do.
