giant snow teddy bear on Upland Road

[Minitoots]

There is a massive snow 'teddy bear' - at least 8 feet high (and that's in it's seated position!!) on the junction of Upland Road and Friern Road - if you haven't already seen it, it's well worth a detour.

What a shame that someone knocked the igloo on Goose green down last night or early this morning....

There is an igloo on Piermont Green

[TJ]

For those who can't get to it... worth a look!

That's dreadful.

Is that the Goose Green igloo on the Daily Mail homepage?

I love the massive structural approach to snow building!

[Rowanofski]

I helped build a monster igloo on Peckham Rye yesterday as the absolute antithesis of that structural approach. By brute force and effort we had it up to about 8 foot high and curving in for the roof. We were going for more of a scale over style impression factor, until that technique led to a fairly major collapse undoing hours of hard graft! I ache like hell today!

All worth it though and I was pleased to be able to help in its demolition myself, rather than have the pesky hoodlums take it to pieces overnight. I'll post a pic if I get near a PC with a USB any time soon.

There was an igloo on the Denmark Hill Estate - brick by brick - large enough for people to go inside.
