  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Igloo's are actually harder then you'd think to make. The Block construction tends to need snow of a particular consistency to reliable form, that you then cut to shape place then grout with snow.

You'd likely do better with a Quinzhee , which is a mound of snow you pile, mix, let settle, then excavate the center out of for use as a shelter. Faster to make, and intended as shorter term shelter rather then semi permanent habitation like an Igloo.

Either will do for a shelter, but don't work on significant sizes because of the structural limits of snow and ice. A friend of mine had one collapse on him, the pressure was enough to burst the blood vessels in his eyes before they managed to dig him out. Needless to say they didn't do it right.

Anyway, so long as you have snow enough to insulate the interior, and a few warm bodies to provide heat, they'll do just fine for temperatures. Do Recommend excavating a small section at the bottom, to allow cold air to pool as it sinks, away from where you intend to rest.
