How do you build your snow forts? (europe.pub)

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 live in a temperate region, so sub-zero temperatures are already kind of uncommon, even in winter. So it barely snows here - last two times were in 1975 and in 2013. (It does hail sometimes, though. Bloody hail last year killed one of my pepper plants ;_;)

That said I'd probably shape and pack individual blocks. Perhaps even glue them together with some water, if it's cold enough for that.
