What do you do with the huge amounts of snow in your yard this year if you live in North Dakota? Build a quinzee.

What the heck is a quinzee?  Read on in the article from the Dickinson Press (this is where I learned about them):

There is also a pretty good article online at Boy’s Life magazine that describes the process:

How to Build a Quinzee Snow Shelter

Happy snow construction!
