I guess that's one difference between the north and the south. Up north,
those outward opening doors can trap you inside when the snow gets
deep. ;-(



When we first bought the house and were in it during a heavy thunderstorm
with winds, I noticed that the way the entrance way was designed it
"funneled" the wind and put a lot of pressure on the doors. When we
returned north after the first winter, I drove our golf cart into the house,
closed the doors, and backed the golf cart up against them with a pillow
between the golf cart bumper and the doors.

Unfortunately the year the first hurricane hit I forgot to do that before we
headed north. $50K lesson.
