If you have enough snow to work with, shovel it up
against the
house as high as you can depending on how much you have.
Around here we call it 'banking the house'. Snowbank
against
the house that is. Sure makes a difference! I call my
house a
form for an igloo. If there was enough snow I would bury
it!

If I had that much snow I woul MOVE. Around here if we
get 4 inches a couple of times a year that is a lot. I
think we have had about 12 to 16 inches at a time about 3
times in the 60 years I can remember. Some years almost
none.



Our snowfall here so far this year is 187" . Not far from
here it is higher, like over 200". pdk
