No snow from TTH from my low-level alt, 22 minutes ago.
Me neither. Nor anything on the Urchin card…
Thirded. Still nothing for me today.
just visited by TTH - still no snow blocking my door. what are the chances they have really changed it up this year?
Can confirm no “snow” on my end. Hey, you lovely Failbetter people, I think an explanation would be in order?
As a reminder, SNOWBOUND! didn’t come until the 12th of December last year.
I’ve never seen a single person eager to be snowbound, much less a whole group of them. This perverse anticipation must be a purely Neathy phenomenon, considering how deceptively dangerous it can be to shovel snow in the morning.
Oh my god, who knew a simple activity could be so dangerous? Now I’ll definitely have to ask Masters to shovel snow for me.
That’s what Urchins are for.

Well, it gave a huge dangerous bonus, so i should’ve expected it, really. Hiring the urchins this year, though.
It appears we are finally snowbound!
Yep. Have urchins shovel with one action for a few CP connected, and an extra free evening, besides the pail, or do your own driveway with 5 actions for 0.7 epa besides the pail, and a boatload of dangerous (specifically- your unmodified dangerous level- for me, that’s 160 cp, or 2 and 2/7th levels), or… spend 10 actions for a handful of cp and a few points magnamious up to 10.
it’s pretty obvious which one not to chose

10 actions for a handful of CP ? Strange… When I saw the increase in Dangerous I got when shoveling in front of my Lodgings, I thought that I’d get double that amount when shoveling in front of my Lodgings AND in front of someone else’s lodgings.
This makes no sense. Rubbery Men, Lorn Flukes, Space bats and all that I can believe, but this… This is too much.
Does anyone remember when TtH stops bringing snow, based on previous years? Is it the same time the Wicket opens? (12 days after Christmas?)
Typically we’ve had 4 weeks of snow, but nobody knows for sure given how late it arrived this year.
I got snowbound at 12.00 today, and then again when TtH came around 18. Is this intended?
Yes / MAYBE.
Yes, it is intended that you should be able to get it to some degree, and any divisor will be unfair to someone, unless they mimick it when snow stops being bound. no, they might have intended to put a delay.
probably intended, though.
So I’m not going for a long lived noman, but am trying to grab all the 5 card lodgings in one sweep (and any remote lodgings I can after that). Unfortunately, I don’t have great prospects for getting many storm threnodies or night whispers on short notice, so I want to be extremely efficient with my buckets.
As I understand it, you get 4 buckets from being snowbound, 1 from the advent calendar, and 1 available from Sackmas? And something like 4 or 5 taste from sackmas if don’t change to Doctor or Notary (I really don’t want to sacrifice my hard earned Correspondent profession).
So I’m thinking the best method would be to use monacle on first bucket to get to 3 taste, get two points from sackmas, use second bucket to get to 8 and take the rest of the sackmas points to 10 or 11, get 9 point lodgings to drop back down 1 or 2 then spam monacle on remaining buckets? Still not going to get all of them without buying some more buckets, but if 5 pts can be squeezed out of sackmas, I can get the top 5 card lodgings and a remote lodging out of it. Are there any other sources of taste or buckets I’m missing (don’t have any tears to use)?

you can get 1 bucket from Mr. sacks when he dies, and 1 from eaten mr. sacks when he visits, for a total of 2 buckets from sacksmas. otherwise, what you said sounds roughtly right.
