Well you could just turn off the heat and use snow balls :-)

the one thing I have found is to set and clearly announce an "end-time."
Whatever happens in between is what will happen. You might also use the
"rules" of the Talking Stick -- Speak with respect, listen with respect --
and definitely respect the time available. Usually works -- at least I've
never seen it not work. And if the group wants to continue after The End
Time -- so be it -- but everybody else is free to use the Law of Two Feet.
Or something.
