Alright, after thinking about it some more, I think Happerry's plan, whilst sensible, is also kinda boring. That said, I don't want to do RAM or dgr's plans, cos they seem suicidal.

I suggest the following:

Quote from: Colony Leader

Name: Dr William Surlington
Description: A distinguished member of the Royal Society, Dr Surlington's work in climate science was known throughout the world. He and his assistants spent many a month in the arctic, studying weather patterns and taking samples from deep within the ice sheets. His warnings of the accelerating pace of glacial growth, and the possibility of them heralding a new ice age, were generally ignored. Until, of course, the great winter arrived, at which point the great and powerful beat down the path to his door- only to find he had already departed for the north, having seen the catastrophe coming, and was in the process of establishing the colony of Flamfjord.
After all, if he can manage an arctic expedition of a dozen people, a city of ten thousand can't be that hard, can it?
Dr Surlington's knowledge of how to survive in the frozen wastes and his knowledge of extreme weather conditions will surely be a boon to the colony.

Name: Flamfjord
Description: Originally a research and trading settlement established by the Empire in the north, it served as a testbed for the Generators. Dr Surlington launched expeditions from here, and so was well known to the few permanent residents. Thanks to his long-held suspicions of an imminent ice age, he had contingency plans in place to recruit the finest scientists and engineers, whilst also importing hardy labourers to work in the factories. Combining their expertise with the small amounts of advanced technology housed in the settlement's labs, he intends to upgrade the generator to something more modern, and weather the storm for as long as possible.
Flamfjord is, as the name suggests, situated in a fjord. The woods in the area are sparse, but existent, and a few seams of coal and iron are known to exist in the surrounding mountains. In addition, it served as a trading hub for the natives, who exchanged furs and reindeer meat for British goods. However, it is unknown whether any of them have survived the Frost's embrace.
