Wintry weather hit parts of the U.S. hard this week, but you can make the best of it by building an awesome snow fort. Use the following examples of icy architecture to inspire your designs, or maybe even start your own ice hotel in the front yard and start charging rent.

Remember that girl that tamed the fearsome snow AT-AT? Well, that isn’t the first time she’s looked death square in the eye and it blinked. You can see her here preparing to do a backflip off that hill then decimate that Valkyrie VF-1S with ferocious karate moves.
After the break there is also a shot of her riding a tauntaun in the bitter cold, teasing it with a lightsaber. Even that dumb animal knows what the price of failure will be.
This two story Batman snow sculpture can be spotted at the Totem Pole Ski Shop in Ludlow, VT—until the temperatures rise anyway. Better hurry, spring’s a comin’ and snow Batman can’t withstand the treacherous sun villain for long. Check out a more detailed image after the break.
This kid was the best there ever was. Some said that the wild AT-AT couldn’t be broken. But he showed them all.

The time for awesome snow sculptures may be drawing to a close for the year, but if you live in Brooklyn you might have come across artist Kilroy III’s Castle Grayskull igloo fort complete with indoor lighting.
Check it out in the video after the break.
The season for awesome snowmen is drawing to a close, but it doesn’t look like Calvin’s reign of terror will end anytime soon. In fact, he’s starting to get artsy with his murders, using this Ellifritt Structure in his work.
We’ve seen a lot of nerdy Star Wars fun in the snow this year including Jabba the Snowman, a Star Wars trench run, and a crashed AT-AT snow fort, but you can now add Ghostbusters to the list with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Snowman.
Though, word on the street is that it’s actually a Michelin Snowman in disguise.

If you’re forced to shovel snow to get to your front door, then we have a great way for you to reward yourself for all your hard work once you’re all done.
Create a Star Wars snow trench run!
If your snowmen look more like Beavis and less like three perfectly graduated balls, it’s time to invest in a Willysphere. These tools can quickly make perfect spheres out of sand or snow, and are offered in varying widths to create a variety of different sizes. Minutes of fun will follow when you create snowmen, sandmen, snowballs, sandballs, a giant pair of buttcheeks, or a pair of geometrically perfect breasts using Willysphere’s unique sombrero shape as the perfect nipple shaped topper. They aren’t available in the US yet, but keep your eyes peeled, because they should be soon.

When society gets into a rut where it can’t produce any worthwhile new inventions, we fall back on our obsession with changing products that already exist. In that spirit we offer this snowman made from a tampon. Standing at a mighty 3 1/2 inches, the flowman and his absorbing power will command giggles from your girlfriends and give any song that mentions snow a nice menstrual cycle vibe.
