To avoid confusion and accidents, it is best for tent mates to get in the tent separately. Brush snow off clothing. Boots can be removed while sitting in the tent and hanging your legs over the porch. Knock snow off the boots before bringing them in so the tent doesn't get wet. A candle can be tied to a tent's center pole or set on a pot.
Some skiers bring small candle lanterns to hang in the tent when arranging and sorting equipment.
I like to write in my notebook before retiring at night and a candle gives enough light. Keeping Warm Those who have never tried winter camping may have steered clear of it for fear of freezing during the night. It's an understandable concern, but unjustified With a few simple precautions, no one is going to be found a frozen zombie the next morning. Don't expect the sleeping bag to warm you. If you're not warm, drink lots of hot liquids or go for a quick ski to get the blood circulating.
