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.

It's been decades since the UK was cold and snowy enough for us to be able to build snow forts. Iirc it was possibly as far back as 1989.

Fucking North Atlantic current keeping our climate mild.

Right. These days, in most of Europe you have to order your snow online and hope it doesn't melt in transit.

It's like: "I'd like 5 snow to go, please"
"How much? Ill have you know that in my days, snow just fell from the sky, for free!"
"Stop laughing, it's true! People even hated it."
