Strictly speaking it's all of ours in the block of flats, quite a few people put a lot of work into this. I think more than 200 large snow bricks were made.

Very impressive.

I'm sat looking out on a gray and miserable Blackpool with the odd flutter of snow that last an few seconds and melts

Nice.

Snowing heavy here at the moment, but not enough for igloos I fear

That's excellent!!

I used to make them when I was young - but I used a different method:

Roll some f*ckoff big snowballs all together (usually about 4) and fill in the gaps with loose snow which is then compacted. Thus you now have a 'snow hill'. Then smply dig out the inner of the igloo with trowels/spade etc. and hollow it out to the required size.

Used to take ages but was a great laugh. Also, the removed snow can be made into snowballs for the inevitable fight with friends/siblings from your newly built 'den'.

Hope the snow is still there tomnight so I can get out with the eldest and have a laugh.

I'm a shattered wreck now, that's 6 hours worth of shovelling/lifting/cutting bricks.

That looks like fun, I just wish we had enough snow here, I really fancy getting out the skis and skiing Arthur's Seat...
