RE: [RC] Frozen - heidi

I just looked out, and they are standing next to the barn, instead of under
the shelter, with frozen rain / sleet and snow building up on them.   Just
like you can lead a horse to water, but can't make them drink....you can
give them shelter, but can't make them stand under it (without closing them
in, or tying them under it)

If it is building up on them, then they are ok.  That means that their
insulation layer is functioning, and their body heat is not escaping to
melt the snow.  If it melts and they are wet, that is a whole nuther
story.  But if it is building up, then their insulation layer is not
compromised.
