Avalanche Alert

In particularly cold northern climates, ‘but it’s snowing…’ is rarely accepted as a valid excuse to miss work or school. But even places like Newfoundland have exceptionally snowy days that keep residents from getting out the door, literally. Let’s just hope these poor snowed-in folks are well stocked with plenty of food and necessities. Who knows just how densely packed this avalanche is; it might take quite a bit of digging before they can see the outside world again.

On the bright side, packed snow can be quite insulating (hello, igloos), so technically, the people who live here don’t even have to shut the door to keep cold air out. But good luck hearing a visitor knock.
