In this week’s Deep Houseboat Life video, we’ll show you what it was like riding out a rare winter, southern snowstorm while on our off grid houseboat on Lake Lanier. This was a very impromptu episode about winter houseboat life, as we were not expecting snow on our houseboat at all!

Not only did we not pack the correct snow and cold weather clothing, we also didn’t bring enough food in case we got snowed in on our Lake Lanier houseboat. There was also a hefty checklist of items to tackle to ensure our part-time liveaboard houseboat was prepared to go off the grid with our houseboat's generator, in the event we lost shore power and experienced real winter in the marina. And with all the wind, we wanted to make sure our docked houseboat stayed docked!

This was also Clare’s first time seeing snow, and it was snow on our off grid houseboat no less! Join us as we reveal what off grid houseboat living is like during the winter and a snowstorm... it's much different than the off grid houseboat camping slow living lifestyle!
