There's a general forecast out for bitterly cold easterly winds over the weekend and heavy snow on Sunday and Monday, 10th and 11th January. There's no indication of precisely where the snow will fall, so assume it's going to be widespread, ie you might be affected.
The forecast is also for at least another two weeks of what we're getting now, although there might be the odd milder respite.
Please use this w/e to stock up on pellets, hay etc - even if you don't need them yet!
Bear in mind that prolonged low temperatures will take it out of bunnies, especially the older and less healthy ones, and maintaining body temperatures against the cold for days or weeks on end will require additional calorie intake. You also need to ensure your bunnies can get out of the wind if they want to: the wind-chill will make it feel even more bitterly cold than it is already.
