A local family spent much of their time outside constructing an igloo following a recent snow storm.

“I wanted to show the kids that they could build an igloo out of nothing,” said Robert Howard. “We only used five gallon buckets and a few snow shovels to create the igloo.”

Howard says that they started using the snow in the ditch in front of their home located on Newtonsville Road. But before it was over, they had gathered snow from all over their yard.
