Feb 4, 2009: Snow Lantern

No, not a Yukimi Gata, a lantern actually made of snow.
In honor of Sundae's snowfall, this could be a way to celebrate.

If the snow is right, you can make ring of snowballs, then add a second ring on top.



Ok now keep adding more rings until you have a little snowball igloo, then stick a lit candle inside.



Be sure the candle is centered, away from the snowball walls. A small candle doesn't give off that much heat.
And if the snow is too dry to make snowballs, add a little water.

That's so cool Zen!
Apparently we're due more on Thursday (I have my doubts about whether it will reach us in our protected location though) so if I get any, I'll make one and take a pic.

Someone try that, then take pix of the inside walls after the candle has burned out. I'll wait.

Shouldn't be a problem. When we built survival snow caves in AK we put small candles on the inside. It made the ceiling glaze but never melted. The temp was definately warm on the inside. Even at +32 it nearly 60 degrees warmer than the -35 on the outside.

I remember building similar snow lanterns as a kid. We left them open at the top, though, not the side. Never experienced any problems with melting snow on the inside, and anyway you could always just build a new one

I got in trouble for "stomping up and down stairs" and "opening and slamming doors" during my parents' unofficial nap time. FTR I slam no doors and I never stomp.

Anyway. Despite the family issues.

Here is my lantern. All ready for dusk.
I will take a pic of it then, in the hope that it's worth the grief I got
