A snow covered house is actually a good thing

It would be like an igloo. Trap the warmth inside. Plus it kept them inside from wandering off. You can go weeks without food. They had water with the snow. They had blankets. So they should have been in good shape.

They couldn't get any snow. The windows had been boarded up from the outside. If the house was totally buried in snow, should they have lit a fire? Carbon monoxide poisoning, anyone?
But miracle of miracles, when the sun came out, it melted all the snow. And apparently shoveled the front porch off as well.
As for the ending, the last thing they need is another kid, lol. I enjoyed the movie. Just felt like nitpicking for some odd reason.

Well, this movie was based on Dolly Parton's real life and they did have more kids after the time when this was set. The first movie was set in 1956, I'm guessing this one was supposed to be set a year or so later. Dolly's sister Rachel Dennison, who played Dolly's character Doralee Rhodes in both of the TV series versions of 9 to 5, was born in 1959.

So her parents really did have more kids after the time period this movie was set.

Her parents had a total of 12 kids. One died as an infant as portrayed in the first movie.

Also her father had 14 siblings and her mother had 9 siblings.

Big families in the rural south weren't unusual. My great grandparents had 14 kids born over a 28 year period from 1885 to 1913.
My great uncle died in 2008 at age 95, 123 years after his oldest sister had been born.

I don't know what they have to say. It makes no difference anyway. Whatever it is, I'm against it.

They didn't have electricity or a tv, so there was only one thing to do for entertainment back then. LOL!

I didn't get the impression the sun melted all that snow. Have you ever experienced a blizzard? It would take forever to melt if it had buried the house, not to mention all the puddles that would be around if it had. I assumed the wind changed directions and blew most of the snow away.

The entire story is complete malarkey. Historical weather data from Sevierville for the Christmas Dolly Parton was 9 shows a high of 73 and a low of 50 degrees. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/KTYS/date/1955-12-25 Unless a blizzard hit just their house and nowhere else this story is impossible to have happened!
