Snow Shelter

Construction

I went outside and tested the snow. It was extremely dry and very bad for snowballs/making snow forts. It does not stick together because it is too cold outside. So I knew that I really had to find my shelter instead of making it. There's a big bush outside my office window, so I thought between the bush and the house would be sheltered from the wind. I was correct, it provided good shelter from the 60mph gusts from the blizzard. 

The first thing (and only thing) I did was shovel the bottom of the shelter. The leaves I uncovered provide the floor. The walls are from my house and the bush, and the bush mostly covers the ceiling. It fits about 2 people. I would have used some sticks, but there was about a foot of snow on the ground where we keep our kindling so that was a no go. 

Final Product:

Here it is from the inside:

And this is from the outside. You can barely tell there is a shelter there!
