...in the picture.
Check out the Globe's pic of the guy in the yellow jacket.
That's Steve.
Right
Sorry for being unclear: It's a photo of some guy enjoying Steve's icepitality.
I was going to do the same thing
But then my wife explained that we already had the same thing only much better with heat and that she'd rather, almost in every circumstance, when given the choice, stay in there.
So I blew it off. She was right. Snow houses are cold.

Bummer! Growing up in NH and
Bummer! Growing up in NH and on skis and skates from age 3, I love this kind of thing. However, I know plenty of women who hate the snow and cold and can't wait to move to Florida.
That's so funny
I stopped counting how many times my wife has suggested moving to Florida this winter. I suggested we build our own ice bar. She said we already have a bar inside.
I said let's go play on the ice on Crystal lake. She said no.
Let's go skiing. Naaaah.
Snow house. No way.
I'm bored.
how soon until ISD shows up?
I just wanted to be the first to post the veritable ISD / city rules comment :-)
Should have invited all the neighbors
Someone posted an "Illegal igloo" complaint on CitizensConnect.
Maybe they were joking.
Jesus, you're right
Citizen Connect, now with the sound turned off (probably to deal with the fact that complaints entered into the system via telephone were sometimes including the complainers' contact info).

Not an igloo
Igloos are made from blocks of snow or ice.
Shoveling a pile and hollowing it out is a quinzhee. Or maybe a lumitalo. Not an igloo.
And while a Rozzie Quinzhee sounds nice, it doesn't have the same ring as if it were, say, five miles east-southeast.
Add one peritonsilar abcess ....
You would have quinsy in your quinzhee in Quincy!
If a fictional LA coroner was in attendance, then Quincy would care for your quinsy ...
