Shonky, but it'll be there for months.
Good effort! Every time we've attempted it, the snow's been that crumbly way where you can't make bricks. My kids are getting impatient.
My dad used to build us igloos by packing snow hard into an ice cream tub. It produced bricks with angled sides resulting in an igloo with specific dimensions related to this angle. They appeared to get smaller and smaller each year, which I never understood...
The girls help make two this year

I love a good igloo thread so I'll post mine again!
Just after finishing mine there was a bit of a thaw and it sagged. Suddenly I knew how the lad in the Snowman felt - just think about the good times! However, -12 the other morning, it's now a big solid ice dome.

There was a similar thread about igloos last week. There was someone posted on that - built an igloo for the kids who then spent the night in it.
Where do you people live the flipin North Pole? We never get snow like that down here in the Southwest (well if we do it melts before you have time to build an igloo) ๐
Sheffield. Measured 36cm on top of the garden table last Wed.

Good job you explained that ๐

Yeah! I was thinking he'd built a gate around his igloo.
Lol at the tea drinking pauses in the time lapse vid ๐
