Mocked for Months — Until the Blizzard Proved Him Right

Описание: In 1887 Vermont, while settlers rushed to finish their cabins before winter, Norwegian immigrant Lars Nielson did something strange. Instead of expanding outward, he built a second, smaller cabin inside his living room — insulated with sawdust and moss, and designed with a low ceiling to trap heat.

His neighbors mocked him.

Then March 12th, 1888 arrived.

The Great Blizzard struck without warning. Temperatures plunged below zero. Wind drove snow through cracks in log walls. Families froze inside their own homes despite roaring fires.

But inside Lars’s “winter room,” the temperature stayed at 65°F.

This is the documented story of practical wisdom, insulation science, and survival during one of America’s deadliest storms. A powerful reminder that sometimes survival doesn’t require more fire — it requires less space.
