In late January earlier this year we got about 3" (7.5 cm) of snow here in the piedmont area of NC. It only stayed below freezing for a day or two. With that little bit of snow, a neighbor built a fake (?) igloo for their kid on their front yard. It was a pretty good size too, large enough to hold at least one adult. What surprised me was how long it lasted. It wasn't below freezing for very long but the igloo stuck around for maybe a week even after temperatures were going above 60°F (15°C) during the day. It was in full sun during the day also. This neighbor had previously built a sled track entirely out of snow parallel to their driveway another winter. So they are handy with snow.
