			===Snow Tunnel===

			Find somewhere where a snow plow has moved a large amount of snow into a pile. With a shovel, dig out a tunnel. You can use a thin rod to ensure it's straight, and have two people dig on either side, meeting in the middle. You can also use very cold water, spraying on the sides to reinforce the structure (as it will freeze the snow into pure ice).

	If you have a hot tub, you can soak in it, then for fun you can get out, roll around in the snow, then hop back into the hot tub. It's quite a trip.

This can destroy your vehicles frame if not appropriately mitigated. Many products exist to prevent this, but ensure that you coat the bottom of your car with something to prevent it from rusting out.

 If you are driving to work and your car is heated, expect it to melt snow that falls on it in the parking lot... for an hour or so. After that, the vehicle will cool to the point that water that is accumulated on the windshield will freeze. This often means that your wipers will freeze to the vehicle. To prevent this from being too much of a problem, you can "Stand Up" your wipers so they are not pressed against the windshield.

 Also, make sure that your boots are not too tight, as this can cut off circulation in your feet and make your feet colder.
