You Could Build a Snowman

January 3, 2009 – 5:56 pm

but better yet, why not an igloo.

This one is in our local park. There are a number of different ways to approach the build (I especially like the 1947 instructional video filmed by the National Energy Board – ‘easy to build, once you know how’), but in this case a group of four ambitious youths started shoveling and mounded the snow into two separate piles. They worked in the evening and I think spent at least one night in it – although it’s been really cold here, so the novelty may have worn off quickly.

Ever built one?
