Greetings from the US. I'm a retired Police Officer, and even in Washington DC, the Nation's Capitol we get snow like that ever so often. I'm truly happy I don't have to work in it any more. When it snows now I look at it through the window, and go find something to eat in the kitchen. 😁 Please stay safe.

I love how the other van had almost no snow around it. Amazing how a meter or two makes a difference on drifting snow. Brings back days of winter camping and sleeping in a qwizzie and -30c temps and windchill of -45c and a buzzard going on for 4 days. I remember as a teen we once got out of the house through the second floor windows and sliding of into the drift from the rooftop. Both front and back doors had drifts to the roof blocking the exits. Glad you both enjoyed your winter snow storm and was laughing and having fun in it

[@tordremme6568]

My guess is that trying to stop the wind and snow from going under the van is a mistake that actually makes it snow in. If there was wind under the van, the snow would have blown away under that van too.

Originally from Western New York. When I was a wee one, my dad used to have to tunnel out the front door, the snow was so deep. We built igloos and snow caves after a big snowstorm. Loved it! We learned to embrace the snow and wear THERMAL clothing. We are in high desert now, and tho we get dustings of snow, I miss what you're experiencing. One word: Hygge!!!

I recommend you to buy a diesel heater and insulate the van first .

I use a UPS Store for my address. Maybe you have something near you that you can do the same thing. I can get any carriers mail there, USPS, UPS, FedEx, Speedy Delivery, Amazon, etc.

[@sunelven]

Outside around the van is going to turn into ice as the snow melts from the warmth coming from the van. Very common problem if you have a car with a warmer inside. Sometimes it can be really hard to get inside and open the doors. Also think about that you can be locked in at your place for a long time if there is no tractor with plough available. Especially if you live remote.

[@Rackelhane]

Fantastic! The van was like a spaceship from "Alien" landed on a cold planet.

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed that vlog. I LOVE the snow and rarely get anything decent enough around here to enjoy.

[@rustybearden1800]

I've experienced snow similar to this twice in my life - once in Italy in 1978 in Cervinia, skiing at Christmas and in Upstate New York in 1993 - dry, fluffy, crunchy snow - like powder. Difficult to walk in but in an AWD vehicle, kinda magical - the sheer volume of the stuff was more problematic than traction. You keep your wits about you and stay on the road and near civilization and you'll be all right. Keep your feet dry, have plenty to eat and drink and stay warm - humans have been doing this stuff for thousands of years👍

Maybe you should have parked across the front of the shelter...? You’d have had one snow free doorway and a snow free(ish) shelter 🤔

[@Mark_The_Mayven]

It wouldn’t have made for as good a story..🤔

[@jmk1962]

That's what i thought too.

[@snowysnowyriver]

Yup, and they could have stored wood in the shelter before the snow got deep. The shelter would protect one side of the van, the van would protect the opening of the shelter. Put a tarp over the wood in the shelter just in case. Job done.

[@kirstendl1724]

I have seen this a couple of times in Austria, when we arrived everything looked green like Spring but at evening it started snowing and it snowed all night. The day after there was 60cm of powder fallen from the sky. Absolutely freeking gorgeous !

[@skogsbosse]

When I was a child, I experienced those winters with a lot of snow. At that time I lived in the northern part of Sweden. Now I still live in Sweden but in the southwest. here we don't have that much snow. At most we have a decimeter. but it was a long time since I experienced that much. I don't miss it ...

[@robduncan599]

I remember the days in the 60s and 70s we used to keep the shovel inside the house just incase you had to dig your way out in the morning. In rural Aberdeenshire. Only the door opened inwards . Outward opening doors would be a bigger challenge?

[@jfv65]

Back in 1979 we had such heavy snowstorms that we were only able to exit the house from an upstairs window. No joke, true story.

[@itsmeGeorgina]

All doors have to swing outwards now due to fire insurance restrictions I think? Unless we are talking about historically preservation objects I live in Norway, I guess similar climate to Scotland -- in my childhood home we had access to the basement/ cellar from inside our house, and there we had nice dry wood for 1 week, propane oven, flashlite, snow shovel, candles, matches, and food for a few days -- We had use of this several times, either during heavy snow, or power-out, in my childhood powerout lasted 2 -3 days

Hellooooo from the beach on the east coast of Central Florida! Yes!!! This reminded me of many nights wayyy up high in Coloradoooo as I've van life'd for over 20 years. Some of my FAVORITE times was when I'd drive beyond the last of the snowed road and make my way to overlooks and land for the night deep in the Colorado deep snow.. I'd have Sushi, watermelon, pizza, and enough for a few days. Then, when I was ready to drive back down to Boulder, to work, I'd jockey my way back to the plowed roads and drive the 30-ish miles back into the human population. Yet, I'd return, again and again, and love love love, being out with the huge Mountain Lions, Ravens, and Magpies. Life. Adventures. Memories. And Loving Angels🎶🐰🎵🦁🎶🧡🎶

[@mayageorge1847]

Great video. A bit of advice from a Canadian, is I would not have parked the van out in the open if I had the choice. I would figure out what direction the wind was mainly coming from and park it on one sife of a building, it makes a huge difference with the cold and will mean far less digging yourself out. Long-wise n front of the barn with the green doors would have been perfect.

I grew up outside Detroit and Winter was my favorite time of year. My mom had to threaten me with no dinner to get me to come back into the house, this would be long after all the other kids had gone inside to get warm. Tip: Snow shoes. TIP 2: Consider running hose from your exhaust pipe up the side of the van and then into an upside down 'J' to avoid blocking by snow. Or I might have considered backing the van as close to the shed as possible for same reason. Tip 3: Face your van into the wind to avoid the doors being blocked again. Tip 4: every hour shovel snow away from doors. Use snow to build berm to keep more snow from blocking door.
