Being snowed-in is God’s way of forcing families to sit and interact with each other, i.e. family counselling via act of nature; but then again thats how we ended up with the Donner party.
P.S. For those who don’t know, the Donner party was a group of pioneers in the 1800′s that were snowed in the Rockies and ended up eating each other and the last person left was found frozen to death.
