Technicolor Ice Fortress

Winter is no fun, especially when it comes too soon or overstays its welcome. How can you make it more enjoyable? By being awesome like Chris Marchand who decided to turn snow into snowlemonade (snowade? water?) by making a beautiful and colorful ice wall fortress in his yard. Look at it. It glows.

Marchand used an 8 liter shoebox with food coloring and water to make about 30 ice bricks a day. To turn the bricks into an actual wall, he would mix snow and water to make a “slush mortar that would freeze solid within minutes”. The ice fortress was built on a 25′ x 25′ lot that looked especially beautiful at night.
