		Snow is cold and wet and tends to settle.
		I have always been able to get snow to ’stick’ together no matter what temperature it is. People ask me how and I always say “uh I don’t know it just sticks together.” I have been thinking about it for a while and now I understand how it works.

		My siblings and I sat down there in our snow-fort, complete with snow chairs and shelves for snowballs to throw at the enemy (our neighbors down the road who then built a snow fort of their own).

		Already the snow was beginning to fall lightly, and I pointed the tips of my skis east and shoved off at a quick and steady rhythm.

	Weather Elements: Snowrollers
		Snowrollers appear in open fields under specific weather conditions, often forming in the wake of a strong winter storm when snow is new and winds strong.
		Snow rollers appear when several weather conditions are combined just right: snow cover deep and moist enough, air temperatures withing a narrow range around the freezing mark, and winds strong enough to push the rollers.
		Additional snow then adheres to the seed, and the snowroller grows until it finally becomes too heavy for the wind to push.

	How To: Build a Badass Snow Fort at Dethroner
		The weight of the snow will gain you some free compression, but you’ll need to whomp it with your shovel, roll around in it, or take little jaunts down the mound with a flat-bottomed sled.
		If your snow is coming up dirty (usually because the snow isn’t very deep on the ground), leave an undisturbed patch of snow near your mound to be used as clean “plaster” later.
		Once you have a layer of ice around your fort that’s a couple of inches thick, you can began to excavate out the interior snow with less worry about structural failure, even bringing portions of the walls right up to the ice to create actual window-sized windows.

		But you’ve got to work with whatever powder you’ve got, so take the advice of Nolan Doesken, assistant state climatologist at the CSU Colorado Climate Center: If the snow on the ground is disappointingly fluffy and dry, turn it into good packing snow with a light misting from a spray bottle filled with tepid water.
		Pack snow into the gaps using your hands or a shovel, then add a second, slightly thinner wall on top, and so on.
		Pour water over the top of the wall so it freezes, then dump more water on the snow directly in front of the fort so any enemies attempting to storm the castle will slip, flail, and crack their skulls comically when they fall.
