Baby, it’s cold outside! I have snow on the brain and ice on the windshield. Ten and twenty degree temperatures doth not a happy Queen make. But I have plans to keep warm, that is, unless the power fails in which case I’m doomed. I really am in the midst of a snowstorm this week but many of you are not. You must get creative and use your imagination. It’s a blog blizzard! I’m here to test your survival skills or at least make you laugh. Here’s how it plays. Good luck.

1. An unexpected blizzard occurs. The power goes out for 10 days. There is no food in the house, no gas in the car, no heat, no TV, no computer, nada! You are snowed in and can’t get to the store for supplies. How would you survive? How would you get out of this mess?

I would use the wood stove for heat and our oil lanterns for light.  My husband and the neighbor would go hunting for food.  We would also eat snow.  Lots and lots of snow.  There is no way I would get out of the mess.  We would be stuck there.  Most likely though, my husband and neighbor would walk to the closest store for some supplies for us.  The neighbor’s wife and I and my daughter would gather around the wood stove.  

2. Tell us about your last snowball fight.

The kids and I ambushed my husband when he came home from work.  Even though it was three against one, he still ended up winning. 
3. You have been asked to make a snowman. What is his name?

Fred, his name would be Fred.  For some reason I just like the name Fred.

4. I have mountains of snow outside my door. I would like to make snow soup. What is the recipe?

The first thing you do is if there is anyone at your house, you ask them to contribute to the soup.  Then you slowly heat your snow, until it is thoroughly melted.  After that you send someone out to find a rather smooth stone.  Clean the stone and then put it in your soup.  After that you change the name of your soup to Stone Soup, and it should turn out good.

5. It is Day 5 of the Big Blog Blizzard. You have been hunkered down for a very long time and in danger of losing your sanity. Your blog neighbors (that would be us) come callin’ to see if you’re OK. We peek in the window. What do we see?
What are you doing in there?

I am gnawing on my stone from my soup, trying to get the lasts bits of flavor from it.

6. Who is the flakiest snowflake in your life?
Past or present.

I would have to say that I am the flakiest snowflake in my life.  After I am the one who has been in the loony bin.
7. You are Snow White. Which dwarf is your favorite and why?

Sleepy is my favorite dwarf.  He is cute and cuddly and sleeps a lot like I do.

8. What is the most fun you’ve ever had inside during a snowstorm?

My answer is boring, doing puzzles and reading.

9. What was Jack Frost nipping at?

My nose

10. Due to blobal warming (that’s blog + global for all you non-blog speakers) your snowman has prematurely melted. What was his last request?

To not turn him into any kind of soup
