For any parents with kids building snow tunnels please be Extremely careful and monitor that activity. Co worker lost his son when a driveway sno fort tunnel collapsed. The father never recovered mentally either .

I did it one year. Four hardwood skids made the cave and then snow on top. Safe. Burnt the skids in the spring and then used a magnet to pull pounds of nails out of the firepit. Never again. Too much work. Just a pile with no core since.

Another was either injured or smoked when a car slid into the snow fort.

Plows get some kids too. Tha mount of hand-wringing and stupidity by barrie parents continually amazes me. Half of them think plow drivers should hop out and inspect snow pile before plowing in case there are kids. Aside from that being completely infeasible, what happened to parenting and teaching your kids about danger?

I can't reach the top still. Probably should have a railing along the sides. Stairs need some work after the latest snow.

Agreed. My kid was playing in the snow pile in front of the house as the plow got near. I yanked him out of there but the plow operator saw him thankfully.

Ours aren’t allowed at the front of the house without one of us present just for this reason. Way too dangerous.
