Anna Hill finds out how people and animals are coping in the freezing British countryside. We hear from a Scottish farmer snow ploughing paths through his fields so his sheep don't suffocate, a Norfolk free range egg producer with six inch thick ice on his lane, and a plumber who's digging his way through snow to remote farms and houses in Scotland. In Devon, a wildlife expert explains how the way farmers look after hedgerows can help our smallest mammals through the winter. Also, why a heavy crop of acorns in the New Forest has had fatal consequences.
