Snooooooow Trench!
Finally! We're getting snow. The 3" predicted has turned into maybe 8" or more (so far) and it's still filling the air.
I've dug out an area in the front yard and put all the snow around the perimeter to make a snow trench big enough for Jake, Laura, and me with a long entrance. Then I went all around the outside and thickened the "walls" to around 2' and now it's setting up.
The shelter as it stands now is about 2.5' deep and if I covered it with a tarp it would be ready to go. I think, however, that we'll make the walls a bit taller so I can actually get inside later and then we'll tarp it, cover the edges of the tarp with more snow, and finish up the entrance.
Pictures coming soon. :)
Thanks for reading,

Good idea.
I just happen to have one of those big emergency candles in the basement.
