Snowing Inside

On the days that the wind was blowing really hard the front kunichuk door kept getting blown opened. (The kunichuk is the space between the inside door and the outside door. It helps keep the house warmer and can serve as a shelter for someone who is lost or being pursued by a bear. Most of the homes here have them.) The boys had shoveled it out the day before and this it what it looked like when we woke up.



Just a side note: the snow dune outside our front door has grown several feet the past few days. It is now almost as tall as the fiveplex.

  2. I am fascinated by the idea of the kunichuk. So you just leave it unlocked at all times in case someone needs to use it?

  3. We were actually locking ours until one day when the lock was frozen and we were all really cold and had the girls with us we realized an other reason to leave it unlocked. This one is the one for the whole building also.
