My Igloo

I like winter, I like snow, and I like building snow forts. This year, rather than going the traditional route and using the plow pile to carve out a family-sized snow cave, I decided to give igloo-making a shot. With temps in the mid/upper 30s on Super Bowl Sunday, the snow was like wet cement. Extremely malleable. This structure came together quite well. That night and ever since, the temps went below zero. The wet snow completely froze and now this habitat is practically more sturdy than my actual house. If we get any more snow, I might build a second floor. I think this is going to be in my yard until mid-July.
