:15:31. > :15:39.The last couple of years have been extremely bad, because there has
:15:39. > :15:43.been so much snow. It snowed for about two months last year, which
:15:43. > :15:50.made getting around very difficult. It was more difficult to see the
:15:50. > :15:53.animals. When the weather is bad, it does make are always much more
