I am also sorry about your H! He dangles the bait and you still take it. It's hard to swim by, but keep trying. His comment about your snitch gf's, let that stuff go with a 'thanks for the info' and a .
Try hard to get warmed up before too long. Forecast is single digit temps here tonight. bbrrrrr! That's coming your way!
Horses are okay with snow, and with cold usually. It's the cold wet rain or snow that gets them a spot inside to dry off their thick fuzzy coats. Back in the good days H and I were loping thru the snowbanks, we hadn't bothered to put saddles on for that ride. My trusty steed had short legs and as we got into deeper snow he kept leaping thru the deep snow. We had one more good jump to be out of it and I was all prepared to go with him....except he stopped!!! I kept going, full somersault right over his head and there I laid in front of him in the snowbank looking up his nostrils! I still laugh about it!
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
