It snowed a lot here, more than knee deep. So when it warmed up enough to make a bit of softer snow I worked on an igloo. It wasn't really good packing, so first I made a big pile and dug out the middle. Opposite that the TOGs and my sister were working on another igloo, but it didn't get roofed over until a few days later when I started with cut snow blocks. That only got me part of the way, but then I built a bunch of blocks by packing wetter snow into plastic tubs and used that to roof it over and then roof over the part in between the 2 other rooms. Eventually it all started to melt, but it lasted a long time as a multi-room igloo with a window. Here are some pics. The first is before the final arch over the doorway, and the night ones are after some serious melting brought some of it down. When I color corrected for the orange street lights it really brought out the blue in the LED lights I stuck inside.
