\n �Farmers in Rogaland, a south western county, our early spring �vegetable belt�, can not start to plant carrots and early cabbage due to too much frost in the ground and below zero C during the nights.
\n �Also the sheep farmers in the same area have problems because the grass fields are still frozen, some places the ground is frozen to a depth of 1 m (3 feet). They can not let the newborn lambs out into the field to grass, because there is no grass.\r\n \r\n | \r\n \r\n \r\n \n \n \n \nThey\'re not the only ones with sheep in danger. \n \n \n \r\n Quote: \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n �Thousands of sheep are killed under meters of snow,� says reader Argiris Diamantis. �The main stream media (and even The SUN) is downplaying this horrible item with fun-stories of lambs getting woolly jumpers.�

\n Farmers were still digging livestock out of snow drifts yesterday and fear at least 10,000 sheep may have died.
\n The current icy blast has struck in the middle of lambing season, putting newborns at even greater risk.
