As long as they have enough to eat, they'll be okay. Birds freeze to death in the Winter because food is scarce. They need the extra calories to keep up their body heat. That's why bird-feeders are so important in Winter.
For ehBeth and others of the British Commonwealth persuasion -- Boston got around 15 - 16 cm of snow, may be more in the offing. (For all my fellow Yanks, that's six to seven inches.)
I hope the birdies are OK, too. That's another way I can tell it is spring, my feeders stay full.
Maybe we should start measuring snow in dollars. So that would mean, Merry, that you had a dollar's depth of snow in Boston, right? 30 cm would be two dollars. As a metrically-challenged person -- that little Beth tip was helpful. (But somehow I will always have it mixed up with purple hair.)
