We got about 8 inches of snow in late January, and it was followed immediately some freezing rain, so we had about 3 inches of frozen snow atop about 5 inches of powdery snow.
It would have been perfect snow for an igloo.
I could have cut blocks of ice out with a knife, and used the powder as a mortar and insulation.
I wish that I had thought of this earlier.
I have been in an igloo, when I was 6 in Anchorage at some sort of a winter fair. I recall it being much warmer than the outside. (I also saw the start of a sled dog race that was not the Iditarod, and went on my first roller coaster.)
I do not expect to see a similar sort of snow in the next few years.
