The Wrath of the Winter Witch Guy!
It snowed like the proverbial mofo here in the Pacific Northwest recently, and, annoyingly, the snow hasn't gone away. [looks out window] Yep, it's still there.
MELT, DAMN YOU.
I don't really have a lot to bitch about. I could be living in the Midwest right now, where it's not just cold, it's hella cold. Or I could be living in Boston. I don't know if it's cold there or not, I just don't want to live in Boston.*
Anyway, the kids and the dogs like the snow an awful lot, so if they're happy, I'm happy. We've been busy with various snowy activities like sledding, making snow angels, doing brodies in the Subaru, and general frolicking. When it came time to make a snowman, I had to put my foot down.
"Girls," I said. "Snowmen are for chumps. We're making a snow castle. No! An EVIL SNOW FORTRESS!"
We preceded to constructing the Castle of the Winter Witch Guy, a massive frozen construct of wintery magic and diabolical evil. Because that's what the holiday season is all about.
To be honest, I made the damn thing by myself because I had an artistic vision and my kids are easily distracted. Plus, if you don't give them gloves, they give up on making ice castles real quick. Little tip for you parents out there.
So here it is, the centerpiece of my driveway, a towering um... tower of evil. Fear the Winter Witch Guy.
Fear him.
*Joking! I love Boston and the fine people who live there. I kid because I love.
MELT, DAMN YOU.

No, not sparklers. Eldritch sticks, as you told me.

Eldritch Logs, actually. Burns with unholy fire for up to 12 hours!

I hereby acknowledge that you have crafted the most fearsome evil snow fortress in all the land!

Good god, it's great to have you back. And to see your time is still poorly spent.

"brodies" - Must be a regional term.
I MIGHT have an idea of what that would be - but an embedded vid would help, pho sho.
To make cold fusion w/ snow, does it have to be the PURPLE whippits, as shown?

"Brody" or "brodie" must be a regional or archaic term. It's what we used to call a 360 or 180 drift back in the day. I've included a link in the post to a video that illustrates.

That...that is magnificent. I particularly like the pink unicorns, but that's 'cause I'm a gir.
