Winter is coming in the northern hemisphere, time to ask some hard-hitting questions.

Are you a burrower with a hollowed out snow drift? A mason who shapes and packs each block? Do you have snowball caches in case of attack?

Share your style and techniques.

I build quinzhees, a snow shelter that can be built at any temperature below freezing. Once the temperature gets below minus 5, snow no longer packs. Quinzhees can be built at any temperature.
