If you enjoy the great outdoors like we do, it only takes -15' temps to keep you inside. Every time we get another snowfall, I shovel the deck onto one spot. My ultimate plan is to make a big snow fort, or igloo. So far, the pile is 3.5 feet deep, 6 feet long and 4 feet wide at the widest. It is still blowing outside right now, so we will be able to add to it. It makes for a decent slide as well. I am glad I started when I did.
Next step? Add water in the evening to give the fort a good solid layer. Then add more snow. Then another shot of water. By the time I am done, I hope to have a fort that both kids can stand in, with room to spare so mom and dad can play in it too!! Now to convince mom!!

'C' actually did spent one night "trying" to sleep in a Quinzhee along with the rest of our Venture Company, It was only minus 25 and it was nice and comfy inside. But, If I remember correctly, I was the only one who slept through the entire night. The rest of the Company crawled out of their sleeping bags and went into the house around 3 am,something about cold feet, I think.
