Porch Dig a two-foot-deep pit in your vestibule. Now you have space to sit while you put on boots.

Pantry Cut a rectangle into the snow outside and sculpt shelves. Line the bottom with a piece of closed-cell foam and place water bottles on top. Put food bags on top of that, then seal with a block of snow; the insulation will keep everything from freezing.
