Yes an old forest green Eldorado in fuzzy Toddtex. I generally only carry the vestibule if I have a friend along, not solo. I have enough practice getting in and out in blizzards. On one trip though with a buddy and the vestibule the winds were at 50 mph with snow. The ONLY way to cook was for my friend to be zipped inside the tent with me sitting in the snow outside the tent, and the coleman Xtreme going inside the vestibule, after shoveling snow around the edges of the vestibule. Oh yes it was -5 F and my normal winter gear kept me very warm although 10 above is more normal for the sierras.
