Snow Way!

Okay, this was also too cool not to share.  In Minnesota, some enterprising folks built a snow fort, complete with fire and other amazing bits.  They decided people shut themselves off too much in the winter, and this has already encouraged neighbors to come hang out and do a little meet and greet.  There was a lot of work put into this, and just to bring people out and enjoy themselves and the weather.

"... snow dome, high enough to stand in, is technically known as a quinzhee. It's adorned with a vented fireplace, candle alcoves and patio furniture."

Awesome.
