These Photos Show Freezing Cold Places Are Far From Winter Wonderlands

Avalanche Alert

In particularly cold northern climates, “but it’s snowing…” rarely works as a valid excuse to skip work or school. However, even places like Newfoundland experience those exceptionally snowy days that literally trap residents indoors. Let’s hope these snowed-in folks are well-stocked with food and essentials. After all, who knows how deep the snow is? It might take hours of digging before they can even glimpse the outside world again

On the bright side, packed snow acts as a natural insulator—think igloos—so technically, they don’t even need to shut the door to keep the cold out. But good luck hearing a visitor knock over the howling wind! For those living in these snowy regions, staying prepared is key. Stocking up on firewood, emergency supplies, and even a good book can make all the difference during a snowstorm. And while the snow might isolate them temporarily, it also creates a cozy, quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Isn’t it fascinating how nature can both challenge and comfort us?
