2. That's interesting.

I wonder what the story behind that picture is. There are two flags stuck into the hut as well.

3. The snow hut,.. that is where Jared does all his dirty and corrupt deals where he ....

.... sells out America's best interests to the highest bidder who will willingly stuff hard currency into his pocket and his Swiss bank accounts.

International diplomacy in your favor,.. if you secretly slide the most dollars under the table into Jared's coffers of self enrichment.

6. From Wikipedia entry Great Blizzard of 1888:

The Great Blizzard of 1888 or Great Blizzard of '88 (March 11 – March 14, 1888) was one of the most severe recorded blizzards in the history of the United States of America. The storm, referred to as the Great White Hurricane, paralyzed the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine, as well as the Atlantic provinces of Canada. Snowfalls of 10 to 58 inches (25 to 147 cm) fell in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet (15 m). Railroads were shut down, and people were confined to their houses for up to a week. Railway and telegraph lines were disabled, and this provided the impetus to move these pieces of infrastructure underground. Emergency services were also affected.
