Dead lock?
So I initially thought I had the father winter problem, but I load my game up and about 2 minutes into playing the game just freezes but the time continues. Only been happening since the Snowy Escape...
@AshMasters17 The one that's 72 MB is likely affected by the Father Winter issue. 11 MB is a much more reasonable number.

If you don't want to lose your current save, there are a couple of mods that can help. Descriptions of how to use them are here:
