    shelter near the fences had to be dug out and housed in impovised shelters made by driving some pointed posts into the ground nailing some pieces across the tops and covering with bracken. Cattle and horses were put in stalls and stables and hand fed with hay, sliced mangolds or turnips. The houses had snow piled up against the walls angling from the roofs and covering doors and windows, making it necessary for the people to dig themselves out every morning.
