It was a cold January day...
 I had always wanted to make an igloo.  The idea gathered steam and something had to be done.  Students found instructions on the net, and we went outside.  In the freezing weather we couldn't pack the powder and for a moment, thought that all was lost.
However, a previous storm left us with a large plowed pile at the end of the parking lot.  This snow was a little dirty, but it was solid.   The whole venture took only 4 hours over 3 days. We used slush made from snow and water we carried out, and the final product was strong enough to stand on.
