This Igloo Dome Project (above) attempts to use scaffolding for building a very large igloo and possibly building it solo. Most of this work is done during the month of July by Brian M. Wargo of the Pittsburgh Igloo Society.
The current snow storm will drop warm snow which is perfect for those attempting their first Igloo. But you must begin planning now before the snow starts to fall. Brian M. Wargo of the Pittsburgh Igloo Shrouded Society offers some advice.
