It leaves or passes on after the blizzard becasue of the heat.non cheeesie ideas:  skis, snow shoes and sleds were invented for a reason after a certain point yuo really can't get thru snow at a rate of travel that will not exhaust and maybe kill you.  I once ran across a field coveredin snow that i thought was just a 8 inches to a footdeep, oops it turned out to be at least 3 feet deep, i was dripping with sweat an exhausted and really hadn't gone much faster then a brisk walking pace I was in civilization so I was okay but if i'd been out camping/hunting at the time I'd have been in serious danger.  been winter camping in -30 or lower and it can be tricky.  Water freezes at 32 after all and if it is 8 degrees over the fire that means your water supply is frozen.  Bread and meat freeze as well so preparing a meal becomes tricky.shelter is the most important part, get out of the wind, be in a place you can get dry and light a fire.do somethign silly that results in getting your torso wet and you will die if you can't get warmed up in minutes.  People have slipped into a stream, pulled themselves out begun to light a fire and been overcome by the cold. the cold doesn't even have to be subfreezing to be dangerous. Damp weather in the 40's has supposedly killed more travellers, hikers and hunters then -10 degree snow covered terrain ever has.</blockquote>
