    I would recommend to buy a simple plastic cover sheet for the car/truck, it will help to keep the snow off. In fact it is much easier to wipe the snow off the vehicle when it's covered as the snow doesn't stick to the metal. I live further north in Sweden and have the same issue with the snow, so I know from experience that it works.

    We swedes are designed to work on ourselves during winter months and its common to have a little winter depression

    Very beautiful nature! Cool house! But you have to fight the snow, otherwise you won’t be able to leave! That's why people live long and happy lives in Sweden. No fuss, quiet. Clean air, ecology. Is there water in your well? Do you use it? Thank you for video..

    Interior Alaska is much the same. The solution for us was to purchase a sturdy old pickup truck (for you, perhaps an SUV), mount a blade on the front, and keep it stationed on the property as the snow plow. A regular daily routine of readily pushable lanes can keep access and parking quite manageable. Headbolt heater(s) on the engine powered by a timed circuit (half hour on, half hour off) keep the vehicle ready for whenever you need it. Best of luck to you!

    I feel your pain (from the middle of Norway) with the snow, some days it's just constantly battling the elements!
    Ref de-icing your truck: have you considered to install a motor heating element and interior heater? That helps a lot! You do need to have power close by where you park the car of course. But turning on those two heater ~an hour before wanting to use the car (on a remote timer/smart outlet) will make the car be defrosted mostly when you get to it

    I would have gone with the hamster technique, bought supplies such as food and crafting material beforehand, used the consistent cold as a huge fridge, and wouldn't bother too much with moving the snow, but I would have worked mostly inside fixing things. But I see, you gotta get out as well sometimes! Anyway, great video.

    I know I'm too late with this comment, but I sure hate to see you tearing out that floor. You could install a "floating" laminate floor with a pad over the floor you have and it would be "happy-joy". Also, a pusher shovel is much easier to deal with than the grain scoop shovel you have. A pusher will do your deck easily, no problem! And...I see a nice carport in your future!

      It's a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. I'm just glad it didn't get as cold this year. Last year, we had -34°C and about 50 cm more snow. But winter isn't over yet, so let's not celebrate too soon 😂
