Snow actually insulates so the house should be warm. “Snow is a great insulator because it is comprised of 90-95% air. That air is constricted, which then slows the process of heat transfer from the cold air outside through the snow layer. This is why some animals in colder climates build snow caves to burrow into for hibernation during winter”

I saw a weather forecast today that indicated that Northern Ontario could drop to -40 degrees during the next week or so.
