USwitch's (the comparison website) own research suggests around 1.7 m households in the UK will not turn on the heating (nearly double the number who said they did this last winter).

Certainly there may have been an argument for better targeting the winter fuel payments, but a quarter of pensioners making this decision say its because of the lost payment.

For the rest of the household this is just one more aspect of the health impact of the cost of living crisis.

How to hibernate

Source: 1952 book Animal Fair, by the Provensens

#winter
A guide-like infographic that shows several steps of what a bear should do to successfully hibernate during the winter. The illustrations are vintage and playful like in a children's book. According to this tongue in cheek guide, the steps are: 1. "Find a comfortable cave". The illustration shows the bear roaming around the woods. 2. "Make sure it is vacant". The illustration shows a snow lynx occupying a cave already. 3. "Lay in a good supply of fire wood". The illustration shows the bear sawing logs and stacking fire wood. 4. "Stock up on goodies for snacks". The illustration shows the bear doing grocery shopping. 5. "Be sure the bed is comfortable". The illustration shows the bear is testing the mattress by sitting on it. 6. "Set the clock for spring". The illustration is showing the bear setting a clock that instead of the normal 12 hour cycle shows the four seasons.

Title: Pine Trees at Ogo Village, Northern Shinshu (1950)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://japantoday.com/category/features/travel/a-hidden-travel-gem-in-shinshu #ShinHanga #KasamatsuShiro #Art #Showa #Snow #Winter #Nagano #Japan
A view of a snowy village as the sun sets behind the mountains. In the foreground, a red torii gate stands surrounded by drifts of fresh clean snow; close by, a tall wiry pine tree extends its branches in a protective arch over the gate. The tree's bark, branches and needles are pasted and clogged with heavy snow. A single visitor - a female figure wrapped in a large plain shawl - approaches the gate. Beyond, lights shine in the windows of a string of village houses, their rooftops buried in snow. Past the village, shadowy mountains rise up toward a sky turning an intense orange with the setting of the sun

Title: Snow in Kamigamo Shrine, Kyoto (1953)

Artist: Takeji Asano

A view of the grounds at Kyoto's Kamigamo Jinja on a snowy winter's day. Walking separately, two visitors in warm-looking coats approach the Honden Sanctuary along a rough path broken in the shallow layer of snow lying across the ground. The Honden Sanctuary stands to the left; snow sticks to the sweeping curved rooftops of the building, contrasting with the intense red of the exterior. On the right, snow covers the ground and clogs the branches of trees. Beyond, faint shadowy shapes of more trees blend in with an overcast sky

The head of a husky coming out from a pile of snow; there's snow on the top of his head, and he is looking annoyed.

Freezing rain coated the streets with ice. I had to climb a hill to a gig, literally pulling myself hand over hand along the fence posts... 😅😅
I told a Hungarian tale called The Kingdom of Ice. Felt like the appropriate choice🌨❄️🌬

Title: A Snow in Toji Temple (1953)

Artist: Takeji Asano

https://tankenjapan.com/toji-temple-in-kyoto-a-unesco-world-heritage-site/ #TakejiAsano #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #Winter #Snow #TojiTemple #Kyoto #Japan
Snow falls on Kyoto's Toji Temple on a dark winter's evening. In the foreground, a female figure in traditional clothing carries a child on her back; the pair is wrapped up against the cold under her heavy hanten winter coat. She is leaving the temple grounds and just passing the chozu-ya, the covered area for purification, on her left. Just behind her, another visitor is headed toward the temple, carrying a bamboo umbrella over their shoulder. Tracks in the fresh snow lead around a stone lantern on the left, and toward a torii gate marking the entrance to the temple. A line of short evergreens stands just beyond the gate, buried under a layer of snow; beyond, the bare branches of tall leafless trees are clogged with snow and frost. Above everything stands the five-story pagoda of Toji Temple, its series of curved stacked rooftops covered in snow. The night sky is a cold dark blue, and snow continues to fall across the scene

Freshly fallen snow in a forested area, some spruce trees are covered in snow, but the mostly bare tall deciduous tree stand eerie around them. Light blanket of fresh snow on the ground
