Outside the kitchen winter in mid-winter. Feathers as fluffed out as they can be against the bitter cold, mutts lived off the scraps that they could get from the base kitchen during midwinter as any other source of food was either absent (other wildlife) or completely frozen and often buried beneath the snow and ice. They really should have headed north for the winter, but stayed around base as the base was there, I always thought this gave us some kind of responsibility to help keep them alive.
