A massive snowstorm damaged my cabin on Svalbard (DIY in the Arctic)

The big question is, where does the firewood in Svalbard come from? Apparently driftwood washes up on the beaches from Siberia. Stores also sell it (surely very costly).

INTRO A huge snowstorm rolled in during polar night on Svalbard, right in the middle of our cabin renovations. It caught us completely off guard, and somehow, the snow made its way inside. So on top of everything we were already trying to get done, we had snow to deal with indoors too.

Then came the calm after the storm. The wind died down, the northern lights lit up the sky, and we ended up having a barbecue with friends right underneath them. I kept looking up and thinking, how is this real? Grilling outside with friends while the aurora danced overhead felt like an absolute dream.

Thanks for spending a little bit of polar night with us!

[...] Now we have two broken doors. The same exact thing happened with the other house a few snowstorms ago. This is exactly what I mean when I say we are running out of time and winter is coming...
