X2 on that. When ever I have snow or ice on the ground, I always move the feeder every time I feed a new bale of hay, just because of that reason. Hay on ground that they won't eat, is basically the same as straw bedding. Moving the feeder when empty, creates a bigger bedding area every time you move it. Of course if you get more ice and snow, you have to start over. I feed hay every couple days, so that's really not an issue. Also, the sun shining on the hay, will melt the ice/snow underneath. That will of course freeze back up at night. So, if you have enough freeze thaw, the moisture underneath will kind of become freeze dried if the ground is not just a neglected feed yard. Maybe not in temps as cold as he stated. This effect only works in temps from about 10 to 32. But, anyways, it makes a difference if dealing with this over quit a bit of time, and minimal amounts of precipitation. Not 6 foot of snow. LOL.
