When life gives you a snow day, make a snowman.
Across the southern U.S., millions of residents woke up Friday to a rare chance to bust out the mittens and snow pants thanks to a cold snap that dumped snow in their backyards.
While the chilly conditions sparked warnings from state officials about treacherous icy roads and forced mass school cancellations, many stuck at home were determined to make the most of the heavy snowfall.
In Little Rock, Arkansas, Tyshae Sanders and her boyfriend Terrell Bryant decided to build an igloo in the front yard of their home. The two were using a plastic bin to build snow blocks needed to create the structure. Sanders said she hoped to be able to build one 5 feet tall by the end of Friday.
“Why couldn’t this happen when we was kids?” Bryant, 34, said with a laugh.
“It could be more,” Sanders, 30, said. “I’m still wishing for a blizzard.”
