If the fresh water intake line has no inline shut off you will be forced to shut the whole house down. The same thing happened to me last year and I had a cracked Rheem hot water heater less than 6 years old.

If it's gas, turn it to off. If electric, turn the breaker off.
Turn off the cold water inlet.
Drain the tank using the drain.

Twinkie:
Is snow defined as "condensed hot air"? :D

My defination would be; Snow is frozen water mocules that have bumped together and stuck together until so many have come together that they get heavy enough to fall.
But I like yours better.
