      Well, maybe the fire would be up front and melt the snow...like around the front door...

      ...Oh wait

        See, this is something I never really understood. As a kid I always thought it was common & safe practice to always leave your porch light on. As I grew up, I noticed this wasn't true...if someone knocked on your door at night, how are you going to see who they are? Are you going to turn on the porch light while they're standing there? What if they're someone you don't want to talk too? Or they're just checking houses out?

        I know that this doesn't count for people who have motion detector ones, but most people don't have those!

        I don't know, I guess I also grew up super paranoid.... (thanks dad!)
        This reminded me of my own father, in the sense that his views were, inexplicably, the exact opposite.

        He believed that leaving the outside lights on would signal to potential burglars that we were not home, and therefore make us more of a target. So, not only would he not turn the lights on for people making deliveries; he'd also not turn the lights on if myself and/or my mother happened to go out.

        I never, for the life of me, understood where he had gotten such a backwards idea.
