Should I transform a dog kennel into a temporary enclosure?

I can clear it off several times daily without issue

It's the heavy overnight snows that are most worrisome.

That is true... I will have to set an alarm to get up and clear it on storm nights. Our power is normally out during storms so we have to maintain the fire off and on as well. At least the run is only a couple steps out my back door.

I failed to mention that I made rafters out of arched pvc under the chicken wire over the top
the trouble with the big snows is that they come sneaking during the night.
