Glennallen, Alaska- With temperatures forecasted to be well below zero and another wave of snowstorms projected to hit the Glennallen area in the next few days, former resident and visiting dignitary Adrik Wolf reportedly decided to allow his Britton Norman Islander to stay inside the house during the cold, frigid Alaskan nights.

"It's a bit of a change since moving down South," Adrik told reporters at a press conference Thursday. "Down in Louisiana and Texas we maybe had to worry about temperatures in the high twenties at worst. But up here, it's an entirely different climate. And sadly, my aeroplane wasn't used to such extremes. I felt it only humane to allow the plane to sleep indoors until the weather clears up."

"Seeing the aircraft, with a wingspan of almost fifty feet, sitting out in the snow and freezing cold just broke my heart," Adrik continued. "I mean the Britton has it's own special shelter to get out of the elements, but it just sits in front of it, looking at the living room windows longingly."

Added Adrik as he affectionately rubbed the ice-cold nose-cone of the left propeller. "How could anyone with a heart say no to leaving such a loyal aircraft out in the snow? So I brought it in to get toasty and be closer to the rest of the family."

Originally, Adrik and his two children had prepared a spot in the kitchen for the 35 foot aeroplane to idle quietly until it warmed up, but daughter Savannah Maria could tell that the family aircraft wanted to be closer to the others.

That's when Father Wolf relented and moved the large pillow into the living room next to the fireplace and the Islander was able to snuggle up with the twins and share hot cocoa and marshmallows.

As of press time, Adrik was reportedly irritated after realising the Islander had left slushy snow tracks all over the kitchen and living room floors.
