How to survive a snowstorm

I see we all made it out of the "Snowmageddon" alive. :O)

Here are some step by step directions on how to build an igloo for next time. Help keep you safe from the ravenous wolves that will stalk you should you be caught unawares.

Guaranteed to work every time, first one must find an appropriate clearing with shelter from the wind. It works even better if you can find an abandoned derelict cabin to help craft your shelter.

Here this one looks just perfect.

Next one must shovel a path so those helpful strangers that pass by can find you and pitch in.

Wait for helpful strangers and they will come, hope they are willing to trade back breaking work for the promise of hot chocolate and brownies you saw Mamma making.

 That's a 10/4 little buddy we got us a work crew.

Goody they look young and strong...hope they don't eat too much of those promised brownies.

 Have them tell their friends to come join the party too.

Have bigger ones do most of the bull work, little ones do the cheering on and general bucket duty...looking good.  Take easel from garage and use that to reinforce door way and make igloo more iglooish looking. Cooooooool. Pile tons of snow on top of roof of cabin, try to talk Mamma into letting bigger guys use snow blower to pile it.  Give up and do it the hard, time consuming way. Sigh...

VoilĂ  you have a very stable realistic looking igloo for all your little friends to play in. An igloo that the Mamma is gonna ask the men folk at least a hundred times if they are sure it is safe for you play in. An igloo that the Mamma is only gonna let you play in if she or the Cattleman are present.....

Time for work crew to come in and eat rumoured brownies.

(In the interest of truth for these directions I must confess that a much larger crew then is depicted here was used.....)
