Straw is not available here, so I’ve used large pine shavings. Deep bed with them, toss fresh ones on top, it will be fine. I’ve used hay too. You have a wind block up, a roof over them, you and your animals will get through this.

Your pigs have a layer of fat to help keep them warm. They will push up bedding with their snouts and burrow in it. They also will be ok.

Do you have extra water tubs or buckets? You can bring in small tubs or buckets, place in bathtub to thaw overnight. Trade out buckets and tobs? Of just carry buckets of boiling hot water to top off ice blocks in tubs? Just throwing ideas out there. It will be hard work and you are going to worry all the way through this, but you got this!
Please let us know how things are going for you, we are concerned too.
